CASTing "The Other Side" in a Better Light: Correcting Political Misperceptions in Advocacy

This webinar explains how we aren't as far apart as we think

Political misperceptions worsen fears, and fearful people can do fearful things, including putting people, communities, and our country at risk.


But there’s reason for hope.


Research confirms it’s possible to correct political misperceptions, and doing so is one of the most important steps to take for the sake of our shared future. More Like US is a U.S.-based organization dedicated to correcting political misperceptions by addressing information environments. Through TikTok, journalism, and lessons in the classroom, More Like US is changing misperceptions at scale.


Hear from James Coan, co-founder of More Like US, about:


  • The CAST (Complexity, Admiration, Similarity, Togetherness) framework to see everyone across the political spectrum in a more accurate light;

  • How More LIke US is working with TikTok influencers Left-Middle-Right to train other content creators on CAST to make popular depolarizing content; and

  • How Harvard Psychology Professor Mina Cikara will test the effectiveness of this content.


Watch to learn the latest about More Like US’s work to depolarize U.S. politics and how this approach can inform your own advocacy.
