Hi Everyone! A cool project coming out of Washington called the Hero's Narrative is offering a free training in Tacoma to help build our skills in telling stories to make change. More details below: Here's a direct link to the tacoma event: *Tacoma, WA | June 3* Tuesday, June 3rd 4 - 6PM Register online.<http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowTacoma/> Hello Friend, *The Heroes' Narrative is hitting the road and visiting a community near you! *We are about to embark on an 8-city training tour in the Pacific Northwest, visiting Yakima, Bellingham, Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland (OR), and Vancouver (WA). Will you join us? The Heroes' Narrative is a unified, values-driven progressive story that works across issue areas and over time. We know stories win, yet we continue to lead campaign messages with facts and policy conversations, losing the public's attention. The Heroes' Narrative is a communications tool to make that switch and strengthen our progressive voice. On each leg of our statewide roadshow, we are offering our Heroes' Narrative training and one-on-one coaching support. The training will: - Present the results of our latest research and polling - Dive into how to use the Heroes' Narrative in campaigns - Highlight the broader Communications Hub support offered to your campaign communications Are you in interested in one-on-one narrative coaching and communications support? Contact me directly to schedule an individualized session. *Heroes' Narrative Training Roadshow!* <http://www.heroesnarrative.org/> *Yakima, WA | May 12-13*Monday, May 12th 6 - 8PM Register online. <http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowYakima/> *Bellingham, WA | May 15-16* Thursday, May 15th 4 - 6PM Register online.<http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowBellingham/> *Seattle, WA | May 20* Tuesday, May 20th 3 - 5PM Register online. <http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowSeattle/> *Bellevue, WA | May 28* Wednesday, May 28th 4 - 6PM Register online.<http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowBellevue/> *Tacoma, WA | June 3* Tuesday, June 3rd 4 - 6PM Register online.<http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowTacoma/> *Spokane, WA | June 9-10* Monday, June 9th 1 - 3PM Register online.<http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowSpokane/> *Portland, OR | June 23-24* Monday, June 23rd 4 - 6PM Register online.<http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowPortland/> *Vancouver, WA | June 25-26* Wednesday, June 25th 4 - 6PM Register online. <http://act.fusewashington.org/signup/HeroesRoadshowVancouver/> *Specific location information for each training session will be emailed directly to registrants.
