Gwenn Fulton from the Addition Project joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to explore how storytelling is a powerful way to translate personal experiences into public dialogue, building shared understanding and action around common challenges. Stories of the working class are particularly needed so that their concerns and aspirations are told in their own voices.
Deepak and Gwenn talk about:
- Effective storytelling balances facts with emotional expression to allow listeners to see themselves as part of the story
- How storytelling can drive grassroots organizing and mobilization
- Why narratives need to identify the heroes as well as the villains.
- How the Republicans are weaponizing storytelling to advance divisive narratives and how the Democrats are responding
