In this interactive session\, we’ll break down the many considerations nonprofits need to make around their choice of words\, style\, and voice. Then\, we’ll help you learn how to make use of A Progressive’s Style Guide\, an amazing 38-page document from sumofus.org and activistteditor.com that will help your nonprofit combat discriminatio \nn\, build bridges\, and speak authentically about (and with) the people and communities you serve. \nProgram Fee: $15 Members of Forefront/ $25 Non-Members (Members must log into the Forefront website to obtain their discount.
