CONNECTIONS LAB
STOP, DROP AND ROLL WORKSHOP
SATURDAY, JUNE 25 FROM 10:00 AM TO 1:30 PM CENTRAL TIME
When we talk about our messaging, at the top of everyone's list is the notion that what we're doing doesn't seem to be working. We have to change the way we communicate, but how?
There is a way. Building on the work of linguist and cognitive scientist George Lakoff and others, the workshop will reveal:
- Why liberals and conservatives take the positions they do.
- What we need to stop doing to be successful.
- How to frame a message so it works.
Applying current science in cognition —about how people's brains really work -- you'll learn about the science behind framing and leave with skills empowering you to create messages that really work (hint: facts and logic aren't a great way to start).
In this 3.5 hour workshop, you will learn to apply our hands-on “Stop, Drop and Roll” techniques that teach the skill of framing messages that tell people who we are, what we believe, and why our ideas work better for all Americans.
Register here: Stop, Drop and Roll Workshop
Cost: $25/adult; $10/student
Webinars (typically last 1 hour)

FRAMING THE IMPENDING ROE V WADE DECISION
Monday, June 27 at 7:00 pm Central time
After a half century of a woman's constitutional right to bodily autonomy, Republican Justices are poised to take it away. Our current messaging is simply not up to the task in front of us and some of what we say actually works against us. Framing expert Antonia Scatton will present her comprehensive and authoritative framing analysis and messaging guidance. This issue will be front and center for 2022 -- be prepared.
