Public Narrative for Organizing Workshop
If you're ready to keep fighting, please join us on Saturday, February 1st. I’ll be sharing some of what I learned studying Public Narrative last semester with Marshall Ganz, the legendary organizer and Harvard professor. Marshall emphasizes how organizing takes the head, the heart and the hands. Public narrative is a leadership practice that focuses on the heart: the values we share that drive us to keep moving forward. We’ll learn and practice how to tell our personal stories of why we are involved in Democrats Abroad and the urgency of electing Democrats who share our values.
We have reserved 5 free tickets for folks for whom cost would be a barrier to participation. Please e-mail Maggie Zelonis (DA Madrid Vice-Chair) if you'd like one of those tickets.
