The importance of language in political messaging cannot be overstated. In politics, every word counts. A successful campaign can hinge on the artful construction of messages that resonate with voters. Political language is more than slogans; it can bridge the gap between political ideals and public perception. Note the regrettably misunderstood term “Defund the police.”

It behooves all of us to be conscious of the language we’re using and how it will be construed, when talking to others or writing Letters to the Editor. This program will help us fine tune our political messaging to make it most effective.

Our 3 speakers are with a non-profit called Words That W!N dedicated to teaching and promoting strategic messaging to win hearts, minds, and votes. WTW is an all-volunteer group, passionate about good messaging.

If you haven’t already, please check out DORR’s latest issue of Keeping Posted, exclusively devoted to messaging.

Ali Feldman
Ali Feldman was a speech language pathologist for almost twenty years and then she transitioned into political work involving advocacy, elections, organizing, and communications. Ali currently works for a progressive communications hub in Pennsylvania.

Lisa Wagner
Lisa Wagner is a retired palliative care nurse practitioner who has worked in oncology, neurosurgery, and home hospice. She became more politically engaged after retirement and the 2016 election.

Melissa Knutson
Melissa Knutson is a communications professional with over 20 years experience at a large non-profit organization. She spent her twenties touring Europe as a singer in a rock, folk, pop band and is now devoted to getting progressives to sing from the same playbook.

The importance of language in political messaging cannot be overstated. In politics, every word counts. A successful campaign can hinge on the artful construction of messages that resonate with voters. Political language is more than slogans; it can bridge the gap between political ideals and public perception. Note the regrettably misunderstood term “Defund the police.”

It behooves all of us to be conscious of the language we’re using and how it will be construed, when talking to others or writing Letters to the Editor. This program will help us fine tune our political messaging to make it most effective.

Our 3 speakers are with a non-profit called Words That W!N dedicated to teaching and promoting strategic messaging to win hearts, minds, and votes. WTW is an all-volunteer group, passionate about good messaging.

If you haven’t already, please check out DORR’s latest issue of Keeping Posted, exclusively devoted to messaging.

PBC – The book for March 27th is Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism by Anne Applebaum (June 2021, 224 pages) The Pulitzer Prize winning historian explains, with electrifying clarity, why elites in democracies around the world are turning toward nationalism and authoritarianism.

This segment is followed by group questions and discussions of the material.
