🌱 Expanding Communications | September Newsletter 🌍

COMMUNICATIONS FOR ADVOCACY NEWSLETTER  | SEPTEMBER ISSUE

Welcome back! 👋🏼

to our storytelling newsletter. So this ☀️ summer 🥵 was one more reminder that we have some serious work to do to move towards a sustainable, equitable future while supporting everyone’s lives now.

Over the eerily fogless days in the Bay Area, I’ve been working on expanding to better support people making a difference on the ground. If that’s you, read on for more & consider forwarding to a friend! 😉



Why Upgrade?

Our world is on 🔥 fire, our institutions are crumbling 🧗🏼‍♀️ and you want to do something about it.

Things are more complicated than ever. Sometimes we need a place to make sense of the noise. We aim to be a respite with messaging advice to meet our moment, digital resources, and community to support your work.

Reframing Communications

Whether you are an activist, a volunteer, a changemaker, work at a non-profit, on a political campaign, or as a communications consultant, this newsletter is for you! Get it all for $5/month or $50/year.

  • 🌱 Roots of our World (Free): a monthly 4-part series exploring a cultural/political topic every Thursday. (Ex. The Impacts of Social Media)
  • 📚 Storytelling for Change: reframing communications for advocacy every Tuesday

Making Change Accessible

We believe that change work is for all of us. Money shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the support you need to advance social justice. To kick off our 1st month, I’m sharing 25% off a year subscription ($37.50/year).

I also offer free or discounted memberships to activists experiencing financial barriers. Reach out if the subscription cost is a barrier and we can work something out.

Donate a Membership: If you would like to donate a 1-year subscription to a fellow activist, either donate a membership or gift a subscription. And thank you all for your incredible support so far!
