Nonprofits walk fine line on political activity - US news - Giving - NBCNews.com Nonprofits could be one of the "sleeping giants" of this fall’s presidential election, having as much to do with turning red states blue — or vice versa — as will Iraq, Barack or soaring gas prices. No way, you say? Nonprofits can’t get involved in politics, right? Truth is, there’s a fine line between what they can and cannot do legally when it comes to politics. That line distinguishes issues advocacy from partisan electioneering, but this election season, it’s a line that’s getting blurred quite a bit as more groups turn to the Internet to raise money and awareness for their favorite causes and candidates. To be sure, federal law bars tax-exempt organizations from donating money to a politician’s campaign or endorsing a candidate, either verbally or in writing. So how far can a nonprofit go when advocating an issue — without actually endorsing a particular candidate and thereby jeopardizing its tax-exempt status? Consider a little history. And that’s not all. Just ask the NAACP.

The Mill Girls - Lowell National Historical Park Newspaper article describing Mill Girl recruitment. National Park Service As much as the massive brick mills along the Merrimack, "mill girls" were an innovation of the early industrial revolution in New England. Dissatisfaction with the work environment was a major reason for leaving the mills. In return for monthly cash wages, female workers in Lowell agreed to regulations that varied little from company to company: work for at least a year live in a company boardinghouse, attend church.
