Tonight is our 2019 annual fundraiser for Eclectablog and The GOTMFV Show podcast. Our theme this year is “Words That Can Save Democracy” and we have a very special guest. Anat Shenker-Osorio is a political communications expert whose research with Prof. Ian Haney-Lopez, DEMOS, and AFSCME is transforming how people communicate about their candidates and issues. Attendees of the fundraiser will enjoy a special presentation by Anat and then we’ll record the podcast live.
As usual, sponsorships are available (see the end of this post) but time is running out!
