Independent Voting's Spokesperson Training
Article shared by Cathy L. Stewart on December 26, 2024 at 11:44 AM
Our colleagues at Independent Voting will be holding their next semi-annual Spokesperson Training. A virtual training that is part educational, part performance training. Every independent has a story to tell about why he/she became independent. With 51% of Americans currently identifying as independent, and democracy falling well short of what it needs to be, independents need to be heard!
● Have you ever tried to explain to a friend why you are an independent, but were not sure how?
● Are you wondering how to talk about the 2024 elections and the role independents played?
● Have you ever watched a news program where the host acts as if every American is a Democrat or Republican and felt angry and left out?
If you answered yes, register today to reserve your spot at Independent Voting’s Spokesperson Training Program.
In a recent post-election interview with Independent Voting leaders Jackie Salit and Cathy Stewart, Katie Fahey, Executive Director of The People and founder of the new Respect Voters Coalition talked about her experience as a participant in Independent Voting's Spokesperson Training program:
"It's a genius way to help millions of people who identify as independents, who have very different personal views, to still speak with one voice to create that space for showing independents are real people. They aren’t just leaners, they aren’t just folks who are pretending to not tell you how they really vote – they’re real people who have strong beliefs, particularly about change. I think the Spokesperson Training program does a really good job not only in helping you meet other people but to be able to speak more confidently on what it means to be you and for that to be okay."
