Storytelling for Community Organizers: So What? - Pre-registration required Whether it's relationship-building or a campaign tactic, storytelling is key to community organizing. Intentional and strategic storytelling is an incredibly effective way to develop the power of a community. This workshop-style class will help you harness that power. Discover how storytelling can serve as a tool to support base-building, bridging the gaps between community and ally. Learn how your stories can help you do outreach through media, and boost relationship-development with the press. Gain practice shaping and becoming comfortable sharing your stories. Find out how to draw out the stories of communities, community leaders, and community members. During our time together, you will have the opportunity to share a story and begin writing that story down.
