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.

POLITICAL BOOK CLUB
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.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
Presidential Election Day 2024 is in 39 weeks. What will you do to make sure that it’s a day to celebrate? There’s a lot to do between now and then!
Be sure to attend our Democracy Fair on February 24th, from noon to 4:00 pm.
Invite everyone you know and help us fill the cafeteria and commons areas of Coconino High School with voters and future voters. We’ll need lots of help that day, please sign up to help if you can.
A big thank you to Nancy Branham and all the volunteers who make the Coconino
County Democratic Party Donation Drive in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. such a huge success. The last of the winter clothing and blanket donations are packed up and ready for delivery to Sovereign Lands. Thank you to District 4 Supervisor Judy Begay for making those arrangements.
Are you interested in working for Coconino County to help with Election Day?
Find out more at our Action Meeting or call the Elections Office at 928-679-7120 and ask for Denise Anderson.
Finally, go ahead and download the DNC REACH app on your personal device, and
look on Mobilize for the training on how to use it. This APP for relational canvassing will be a key component of the coordinated campaign, and you’ll be hearing lots more about it.
