Guidelines for Content Sharing
MARCO Guidelines for Content Sharing and Cross-Promotion
Supporting the Voice and Visibility of Recovery Community Organizations
Purpose
The Minnesota Alliance of Recovery Community Organizations (MARCO) is committed to uplifting the voices, services, and successes of Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs). These guidelines ensure that our content-sharing and cross-promotion practices are equitable, collaborative, and aligned with our shared mission to grow the grassroots recovery movement across Minnesota.
Guiding Principles
- Amplify, Don’t Compete
We promote a culture of collaboration. MARCO content sharing exists to amplify RCO efforts, not to compete for attention or resources. - Center Recovery Voices
We prioritize content that highlights lived experience, peer support, recovery equity, and community empowerment. - Respect Organizational Identity
Each RCO has its own voice and mission. We share content in a way that respects and preserves that identity. - Equity and Inclusion
We aim to reflect the diversity of Minnesota’s recovery communities across cultures, regions, identities, and pathways. - Transparency and Consent
We only share or co-brand content with permission. Attribution and original intent are always honored.
What Content We Share
We are open to sharing content that:
- Promotes events, trainings, or services led by or in collaboration with RCOs
- Highlights recovery stories, leadership, or innovation
- Advocates for recovery-centered public policies and equitable funding of recovery supports
- Provides resources or tools for peer support, the Peer Recovery Specialist workforce, or RCO organizational development and capacity building
- Celebrates successes or milestones within the recovery community
Cross-Promotion Channels
MARCO may share your content through:
- Email newsletters
- Social media platforms
- Event calendars
- Website blog or news section
- Partner spotlights during MARCO sessions or meetings
How to Submit Content
Please include the following:
- Brief description of your content (what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters)
- Dates/times (if it’s an event or time-sensitive)
- Registration information, if applicable

Tagging and Attribution
When sharing content:
- We will tag your organization and use original graphics or captions when possible.
MARCO will credit the content creator and link back to the original source.
Limitations
While we strive to support all partners, we may not be able to share all submissions. MARCO reserves the right to decline content that:
- Conflicts with our values or mission
- Includes stigmatizing, discriminatory, or political messaging
- Promotes private or for-profit services not affiliated with RCOs
Let’s Build A Recovery-Oriented Future Together
This work is about more than visibility. It’s about creating solidarity and unified messaging around Recovery Community Organizations. By sharing content thoughtfully, we help create a more connected and resilient recovery movement across Minnesota.
