Website Purpose<br><\/strong><br>The AMEN website provides information about the organization, its mission, programs, activities, events, news, volunteer opportunities, resources, public-policy interests, and ways to support or communicate with AMEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Website content is provided for general informational, educational, organizational, and civic-engagement purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing on this website constitutes individualized legal, financial, tax, accounting, investment, or other professional advice. Visitors should consult an appropriate professional regarding matters requiring such advice.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Public-Policy and Advocacy Content<br><\/strong><br>AMEN is a civic and social-welfare organization, and website content may include discussion, advocacy, commentary, educational material, or viewpoints relating to civic issues, public policy, government, elections, community affairs, or matters of public concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Statements presented as AMEN&#8217;s positions represent the organization&#8217;s views. Articles, quotations, linked materials, guest content, or other attributed statements may represent the views of their respective authors or sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Links to third-party organizations or materials do not necessarily constitute AMEN&#8217;s endorsement of every position, statement, product, service, or activity of that third party.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.

Contact, Volunteer, and Registration Forms<br><\/strong><br>When submitting information through an AMEN form, you agree to provide information that is reasonably accurate and that you are authorized to provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Submitting a Contact, Volunteer, or event inquiry does not guarantee employment, membership, an available assignment, event admission, a partnership, a response within a particular time, or action on your request. A Volunteer inquiry alone does not authorize you to speak or act on AMEN\u2019s behalf. Participation details and any required permissions will be arranged separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">AMEN may contact you regarding the purpose for which you submitted the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Personal information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with AMEN&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amenforamerica.org\/?page_id=3\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Mailing List<br><\/strong><br>Visitors may voluntarily subscribe to AMEN newsletters and organizational communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By subscribing, you authorize AMEN and its email-service providers to send you communications consistent with the signup description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in AMEN&#8217;s mass-email communications or by contacting AMEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Submitting an inquiry, volunteering, attending an event, or donating does not by itself enroll you in AMEN\u2019s general mailing list.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Contributions and Donations<br><\/strong><br>AMEN may provide information on the website describing methods by which supporters can make contributions, including Zelle, check, or other methods that AMEN may make available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">AMEN currently does not process credit-card payments directly through this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">American Minority Engagement Network is a Section 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. Contributions to AMEN are generally not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Donors should consult their own tax adviser regarding the treatment of a contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you believe a contribution was made in error or without authorization, contact AMEN promptly with its date, amount, and payment method.

Events and Participation<br><\/strong><br>Event registration, attendance, fees, cancellations, and refunds are governed by the information and any additional terms provided for that event. A donation does not itself register you for an event. AMEN may change or cancel an event and will communicate changes when reasonably practical using the channels available for that event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should review participation requirements before you register, volunteer, or donate. Activities may require parental permission or other eligibility conditions. Photography permissions, safety requirements, and any participant releases will be addressed separately where applicable.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9.

Permission to publish a testimonial, photograph, or other submitted material will be addressed separately.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10.
