Webinar: The Narrative Power of a People-First Economy (March 30th, 2023)
On March 30, 2023, the Narrative Learning Community came together to discuss the narrative dynamics shaping how Americans think about the economy — and how we can reframe it to put people first.
Featuring insights from Lindsay Owens (Groundwork Collaborative), Dana Balter (Citizen Action of New York), and Isaiah Bailey (Topos Partnership), the session highlighted new research, shared practical strategies, and tackled challenging questions about how to shift public discourse away from abstract economic indicators and toward real people’s lives.
Speakers included:
- Isaiah Bailey, Senior Fellow at Topos Partnership
- Lindsay Owens, Executive Director at Groundwork Collaborative
- Dana Balter, Director of Strategic Communication at Citizen Action of New York
