SUMMARY:Debt Storytelling Jam! w/ Ian Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Forget sticks and stones. Storytelling is one of the most power
 ful weapons we have in our arsenal. Stories make the political personal\; 
 they shape what’s “common sense” and set the terms for how society e
 ngages with existential problems — from the affordability crisis to the 
 climate emergency. And the stakes couldn’t be higher. The right wing and
  neoliberals have developed harmful narratives that helped shape policy 
 — trickle-down economics…ever heard of it?\n\nBut how do we fight back
 ? How do we tell more compelling\, evocative\, and even funny stories to c
 aptivate hearts and minds? How do we use stories to drive people towards c
 ollective action — from pushing for healthcare for all to debt abolition
 ? How do we repeat the same story in different ways to drive home an impor
 tant framework?\n\nJoin Ian Goldstein\, writer\, performer\, and Webby Awa
 rd-winning producer\, in an introductory storytelling jam session. Learn t
 he fundamentals of how to write a powerful story. Come with questions. Wor
 kshop your story ideas in breakout sessions and walk away with a firmer gr
 asp of how to tell a tale. Maybe someday we’ll lecture future generation
 s\, “Back in my day\, people went bankrupt because they couldn’t pay t
 heir healthcare bills. So glad we came to our senses!” \n\nAll writing l
 evels are welcome. See you there!\n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?
