Join Movement Voter Project for a briefing on what it will take to harness new media and digital engagement, win hearts and minds, and shape culture on a scale that can shift our long-term trajectory.

In this briefing, we will cover:

• Jenifer Fernandez Ancona & Glennis Meagher at Way to Rise (an MVP national peer funder and partner) will share their recent work to elevate narratives in support of civil resistance to authoritarianism.
