Advocacy Everywhere is designed to expand the influence of the National Association of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations on public policy at the local, state and federal level and to increase REALTOR® and consumer participation in calls for action (CFA).

NAR, with our professional services, will be a full-service provider that can expedite the components of a CFA, thus lowering an association’s time-commitment necessary to launch and monitor a successful CFA.  Local associations will no longer need to have dedicated staff trained on the latest advocacy tools and can focus on messaging and targeting with NAR managing the technology.  State associations can opt-in for these professional services or can utilize the tools and perform the basic functions of a CFA on their own.

Planning Your CFA: Strategy Charts

A lot like playing the game Dominoes, it takes preparation (set up) to implement a successful online grassroots advocacy campaign. Our REALTOR® members cannot participate in a CFA campaign to contact their legislators on priority issues if your Association is not ready to build out the CFA campaign components. Building a CFA infrastructure means collaborating with your internal Association staff teams and coalition partners to set strategic goals, take stock of your resources, assess who supports and opposes your position, identify the targeted decision makers and finally decide which tactics you will employ to influence the legislative process. The strategy charts linked below are designed to help aid and streamline these discussions to make planning your CFA campaign easier.
