Third Act: Media Outreach Training: Sharing Your Story in the Public Square
Join Bill McKibben and renowned public relations expert David Fenton (author of The Activist’s Media Handbook) for a powerful conversation about crafting a compelling narrative to promote social change, and to tell your personal story can as part of that narrative.
As our democracy and climate face unprecedented threats, Third Actors are increasingly active in the public square like never before: showing up at hearings, writing op-eds, contacting elected officials, and marching in the streets. The media is paying attention to this new outpouring of “elder activism,” and you—yes, you!—can help shape the way this historic story is told.
Bill and David will be joined by Third Act staff and volunteer leaders with decades of experience in public relations. Together, we’ll explore how to craft a compelling personal narrative, speak confidently with the press, and shape messages that resonate. You’ll gain useful tips, build valuable skills, and connect with others who are using their voices to drive change.
