Re:Imagining Change (published by PM Press) is an inspiring and accessible resource guide to smartMeme’s innovative story-based strategy tools and methodology. The book grows out of smartMeme’s work since 2002, training over 3,000 activists and collaborating with over 100 social change organizations on a wide range of critical environmental and social justice issues. Re:Imagining Change outlines how to apply narrative power analysis to effectively frame issues, provides intriguing case studies, and issues a passionate call for more creative movement building to face the intersecting crises of the 21st century.

SmartMeme co-founder Doyle Canning will briefly share some of the insights from the book, followed by Q&A and discussion.

Don’t miss this evening of celebration, strategy, and storytelling!

The Progressive Communicators Network-Boston/New England is the regional chapter of the national Progressive Communicators Network (PCN). PCN exists to strengthen and amplify the power, voices, and vision of grassroots movements that are working for social, economic, and environmental justice. Our members use communication strategy, framing and messaging, and media tools to: 1) enhance the influence of social change movements on public policy and opinion, and 2) realize a world without poverty, racism, and other forms of oppression. The Network is a project of Spirit in Action, a movement-building support organization located in western Massachusetts.
