People have trouble remembering facts, but they never forget a good story. Effective advocacy appeals to the heart, the head, and political health of the legislator. This presentation teaches advocates how to organize and present their stories exercising the tactics actors use. It outlines the key elements of public policy advocacy storytelling, and walks participants through an exercise to develop their own personal stories to move the hearts, minds, and VOTES of lawmakers. This training is open to anyone interested in civic engagement that would like to learn about engaging with their Congressmember. You do not need to participate in a LAW fly-in meeting to join this training.
