But thereare effective strategies for meeting people where they are in order to movethem closer to justice. And time-tested ways to break through barriers in orderto make sure that your message is heard and acted on.

Ream will consider new strategies for using our personal stories tocreate political change … explore ways that language and word choice can openaudiences up — or shut them down — in our politically polarized era … make thecase for discovering your own, truly unique “change style” … and remind us thatthe fight for joy is a critical element of the fight for justice.
