More than a Message: Authentic and Entertaining Stories as Tools of Connection and Change

This webinar shares inspiring examples of using stories to bridge, not break

Storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools for connection - not through preaching or partisanship, but through shared humanity. This webinar explores how authentic, emotionally resonant stories - especially in film, digital media, and local initiatives - can cut across cultural and political lines, even when they appear to be “just” entertainment.

Brian Walker, CEO of Picture Motion Campaigns, draws from his decades of experience at the intersection of advocacy and entertainment to share how stories that are emotionally engaging and entertaining can also carry moral weight and spark meaningful change.

Watch to learn:

• what makes a story compelling and constructive;

• how stories are tools of connection and change;

• how to elevate voices that are often overlooked and underheard; and

• why the story of bridging divides is itself an important story we can tell right now.

  
  

This session is designed for advocates, organizers, artists, and anyone looking to communicate with purpose. You’ll leave with practical strategies for telling stories that resonate - and reach - across today’s divides.
