During election season, narratives around immigration become more visible as candidates turn their positions into sound-bites. At their heart, elections are debates about the future. We have an opportunity to share our vision for a pro-immigrant future and reach more people with authentic migrant stories. The Narrative Election Guide for Immigrant Futures is going live on Monday September 30, 2024. This new guide from Narrative Initiative features original findings from Define American and Harmony Labs to help organizers, advocates and artists counter fear and change attitudes in this election season and beyond. Join us for a public briefing that day at 4 pm ET/1 pm Pacific with Rinku Sen, Executive Director at Narrative Initiative, and Riki Conrey, Director of Research + Evaluation at Define American. https://lnkd.in/e5BHZPWW
