SNYDER STRATEGIES

Pride Month isn’t just about rainbows—it’s a call to action. With over 800 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced this year and Iowa stripping gender identity from its civil rights code, performative allyship won’t cut it. Whether you're a business, organization, or individual, don’t just show up for the party—show up for the fight. Support queer communities with action, funding, and sustained advocacy. Pride is protest. Let’s act like it.

Five bold advocacy moves to supercharge your strategy in 2025: discover your unique superpower, reframe advocacy as mission-critical, build relationships before you need them, activate your email list, and blend data with real stories. At Snyder Strategies, we help nonprofits turn these insights into action — with smarter messaging, stronger coalitions, and unapologetic advocacy that drives real change.

Advocacy isn’t a solo sport. When a nonprofit skips coalition partners to "avoid bothering people," they shrink their impact — and their future power. Always ask for help. They can say no, but if you don’t ask, you’re shutting them out. Strong advocacy is built on smart invitations, not isolation. Build the ecosystem now — because next time, you’ll need it.
