Unmuting Our Message: How to Talk About Politics in a Way People Actually Hear
Presented by Tami Miro of Unmute Alabama 

This training isn’t about going viral, memorizing talking points, or winning online arguments.

It’s about learning how to communicate in a way that builds trust, cuts through noise, and helps everyday people become steadier, more effective messengers especially in the lead-up to 2026.

During this session, we’ll explore:

• Why most political messaging isn’t landing anymore and what’s changed
• The different goals of messaging (activating the base, re-engaging disengaged Democrats, persuading persuadable voters, and correcting misinformation) and why each one requires a different approach
• Why values must always lead, no matter what your goal is
• A simple, repeatable framework for values-based messaging
• Real examples of how to turn a news article into something calm, clear, and still emotionally resonant
• How grassroots messengers can amplify messages inside their own networks in a way campaigns and organizations simply can’t
