3 meet-ups down, 2 more to go in our "Un-Trumping America" by @danpfeiffer virtual #BookClub. 📚

Here's a 🧵recapping Chapters 7 & 8.

TL/DR: sign up for Week 4 as we start "Part 3: How To Make America A Democracy Again", events.democrats.org/event/284418/.
Q1: @danpfeiffer lays out 3 factors that pushes media in the “decidedly wrong direction”. 1 of those factors is Facebook. How can #Democrats utilize it appropriately to spread the democratic story/message?

A1: Only share stuff that spreads the democratic story/message. Period.
A1 cont: Stop sharing, commenting, reacting to posts that promote 45 & R talking points & start doing it with Democratic talking points on your profile & other's.

And as @Chasten says, "Let hate sit alone."

ICYMI: a Week 1 #BookClub recap of discussion on Chpts 1-4 of "Un-Trumping America" by @danpfeiffer.

Chpt 1: "Trump: an abomination, not an aberration.” How should this affect democratic framing and messaging?

A: Talk about values. "Protections" vs "regulations", ex: the ePa.
Chpt 2: @danpfeiffer writes “Democrats respond to hope. To win elections, we need to inspire nonvoters to become voters.” Who or what is giving you hope for November 3rd?

A: #BlackLivesMatter protests, recent #SCOTUS decisions, dynamic & diverse local candidates.
Chpt 2 (cont): How are you inspiring nonvoters, undecided voters?

A: Telling stories to make politics personable. Highlighting success of (local) government. Effectively communicating the voting process (focus on early 🗳️) & providing resources.

Wow! That Grassroots Discussion was so full of real practical start-using-it-now #2020election organizing. Check out the recap below.
Thank you @kn_avery! You are brilliant! And thanks for your work with PFA and on the frontlines with Organizing Together #WOT2020 @WIOrgTogether
We started with a clip from the super helpful Turnout 2020 @BrennanCenter webinar. We listened to @evettewashere give a great rundown of the @knightfdn study of America's non-voters.
youtube.com/watch?v=DG70_I…
Non-voters:
- 38% do not believe their vote matters.
- Are less infromed, overwhelmed or turned off by negative news.
- Do not know the voting process.
- Less trusting of voting system.

What part of the @knightfdn study on non-voters stood out to you?
