Storytelling is a powerful organizing tool to communicate values, victories, and hopes for the future.  This workshop will outline techniques that are effective in using personal stories to communicate and build common ground.  Workshop participants will outline their own story using these techniques, and will practice using their story as a way to invite people to join their campaign.

Rose White has been an organizer and trainer at the Service Employees International Union since 2002.  She started at the union organizing nursing home workers into the union, and since then has worked on the political staff of local unions, worked on leadership development programs, and led member internship programs.  Her favorite part of her work is encouraging healthcare worker union members to understand and harness their collective political power to increase public funding for healthcare, resulting in better quality care for their patients, and also a living wage for themselves.

Gatherings are open to the public and cost $5-10 (sliding scale). No one will be turned away for inability to pay.

Light refreshments are provided.
