Abstract:

Perhaps nothing is as central to the nonprofit sector as protecting its right to speak out on issues. For example, when there were attacks on nonprofit advocacy in 1983 and 1995, the sector organized galvanizing responses to fend them off. Unfortunately, it appears that such attacks are again surfacing, but in ways that are broader yet much harder to fight back.
