Nearly half of the world votes this year, and the question is: How do we make it matter? Organizing can transform the way we do politics - into politics grounded in shared values and hope, that center leadership development of our people and builds long-term power for change.

As leaders, we accept the responsibility to enable others to achieve shared purpose in the face of uncertainty. But how can we do this in moments of disruptive change? In moments of challenge, how do the words we speak as leaders enable the agency of our people? In these trying times, it is more critical than ever to enable the agency of our communities to navigate, respond, and move forward with shared purpose.That’s why we are thrilled to invite you to a session with public narrative educator and coach Sarah ElRaheb-Dagher on Public Narrative II: Responding to Disruptive Change! During this session, we will explore the Empathetic Bridge as a tool to exercise leadership in moments of uncertainty.  We will examine the challenges of loss, difference, power and change, and have the chance to apply these lenses to our own leadership challenges.

If not now, when? The world feels like it’s unraveling, and more than ever, we need to tell stories that inspire hope and action. But how do we tell stories that resonate with people on an experiential level and motivate them to take action? The Story of Now is often seen as the most intuitive part of Public Narrative, but it can be tricky to bring alive moments of challenge that feel urgent and resonate for the collective "us." And when the challenge is overwhelming and hope seems scarce, it can be even harder to offer a meaningful and strategic call to action. That's where our Skill Practice Session on Story of Now comes in. This 90-minute skill practice session will help you strengthen your understanding of the craft, learn to identify the resources in the room, develop a compelling story of Now, as well as coach one another

How can a community with limited resources create change? Learn how communities can organize to turn their resources into power for change in our Orientation to Organizing on July 9th 10am US Eastern Time! We will delve into the organizing and public narrative practices developed by Marshall Ganz at the Harvard Kennedy School and his associates with examples from the ground. For this session, we are partnering with Mike Perry and Amrit Parhar from the Institute of Change Leaders (ICL) in Canada. When Mike’s community in a small rural town was devastated by the loss of loved ones in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, seniors, their families, and concerned citizens came together to take action to change the broken system of long-term care. Drawing on organizing practices, the Long-Term Care Coalition helped secure a $4 million commitment from the provincial government to improve conditions in nursing homes in
