THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE TERRIBLE
Exploring the Political Challenges and Opportunities in the Trump Era
The purpose of this webinar was to help provide a landscape analysis of domestic policy changes and the impact on vulnerable and targeted communities in the Trump era. While the policy agenda is becoming clearer, there is still a lot of anxiety and uncertainty and it is our hope that this session will try to provide some insights into some of the major policy changes on the horizon, the current and potential impact the Trump era is having in communities, where are prospects for folks fighting back effectively and building power, and what are the most necessary things to do in this environment.

Race-Class Narrative, Digital Narrative-Building & How to Break Through the Noise
In collaboration with Prentiss Haney, Executive Director of the Ohio Student Association, HSF invited organizers to join together for an online training focusing on digital organizing and messaging work related to voter engagement. The free training acted as an overview of race-class narrative (RCN), how grassroots community groups can leverage it to build narrative power in-state, and how state-based groups are using RCN to advance a new theory of politics. The training covered how using different communication products, OSA was able to take their race-class narrative message and turn it into a creative narrative campaign.
