Take Action! Storytelling That Inspires
Whether your focus is raising money, recruiting staff and volunteers, or
educating your audience about key issues, it all comes down to storytelling
strategy.  Rachel Jellinek will share tips on crafting your message,
including some pitfalls to avoid.  She'll share examples from the videos
she's created through her company Reflection Films.This interactive session
will also include an opportunity for participants to share their
experiences with storytelling. The focus of this conversation will be on
storytelling ideas and what to do with them, not on the technical aspects
of video production.

Socializing for Justice - www.sojust.org
Since 2006, we've been building this great sandbox where we can bring
progressives of all stripes together and try out new ideas in this
"Movement Moment". Spaces like this are crucial as we start to reframe and
build new visions for our movement(s).

SoJust hosts events that draw progressives of all stripes that share common
values but may work on different issues. We host monthly socials that allow
for the possibility of cross-issue connections and run a monthly ProfDev
Series, hosted by The NonProfit Center*, which provides access to
affordable professional development to increase our individual capacity for
movement building.

With almost 2500 members and 7+ years of creating a diverse cross-issue
community in Boston (175+ events!), Socializing for Justice is the best
place to find the great people, organizations and community you're looking
for while putting the SOCIAL back in social justice.

YES, WE MEAN YOU. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual
orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone
like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.
