In our July webinar, we're focusing on Authentic and Entertaining Stories as Tools of Connection and Change.

Storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools for connection — not through preaching or partisanship, but through shared humanity.

This webinar will explore 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, will draw 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.

Join us to learn how stories — from personal anecdotes to community-based media — can invite empathy, open minds, and quietly shift perspectives. You'll gain insights into:

• what makes a story compelling and constructive;
• 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.

‍As always, all are welcome to join regardless of field or level of experience.
