CANCELED - Using Stories for Social Change, a 2-part class (Pre-registration required) How can communications, storytelling, organizing, and advocacy work together to build towards transformative social change? This 2-part course, co-facilitated by Eleonore Wesserle and Cirien Saadeh, will provide a brief but deep dive into the role of stories in working for social justice. We'll practice articulating both the stories we strive to dismantle and the stories we aim to elevate. We’ll discuss framing, how to build a transformative story, and tools for telling and distributing stories for social change. You have a story. What are you going to do with it and why? Part 2 is scheduled for November 6. Pre-registration is required. Cirien Saadeh is an organizer and communications professional with La Asamblea de Derechos Civiles and the Twin Cities Daily Planet. She has worked for E-Democracy, The UpTake, and AM950’s “Food Freedom Radio.” A graduate of the Organizing Apprenticeship Project, Cirien has been active in campaigns around transit equity, food justice, digital access and inclusion, and immigrant justice. She believes that storytelling is the most powerful tool that community organizers and leaders can develop and leverage to build equity in disenfranchised communities. Eleonore Wesserle is a trainer and facilitator with Line Break Media, building the capacity of organizations and individuals to tell their stories through traditional and digital media. Coming from an activist background, she helps organizations weave their communications strategy into their movement strategy so that both can become more effective. When
