Talking public policy in 240 characters or less? Attendees will leave the session ready and excited to harness the power of storytelling and pop culture to amplify policy visibility, build coalitions, share agendas, and create citizen activists online. Takeaway skills include how to create a storytelling toolkit/campaign and how to identify pop culture that could link to your own policy advocacy. In this session, we'll discuss case studies of how we can use pop culture and stories to humanize wonky health policy and create social change.
