Narrative Group Goal and Objectives:

Goal: To develop and promote a common economic narrative that is used across the progressive movement, a powerful story that we are telling consistently through words and actions, in our communications and organizing.

Objectives: To accomplish this goal we will:

>   Convene initial and continued discussions to develop and strengthen the narrative;

>   Share research on public opinion and on effective messages;

>   Share communications and actions that progressive campaigns and organizations are using that employ the narrative in their work;

>   Provide review and consultation to organizations on campaign materials;

>   Provide consultation and training on how to use the narrative in issue campaigns, organizing and other activities;

>   Identify further research that is needed on the narrative;

>   Reach out to promote use of the narrative across the progressive movement and allies: to think-tanks, unions, organizing networks, issue and constituency groups, elected officials, pollsters, pundits and journalists.
