Young Leaders Rising: The Movement to End the Weaponizing of America, presented by bigSTORY, Conversation 2132

Mike Bonifer of bigSTORY hosts a presentation about the student movement to change the national narrative around gun violence and the politics of gun ownership in the U.S.

The session will offer a compelling look at the parallels--and the differences--between the student activism of today and other activist movements in U.S. history, through the lens of storytelling. The techniques used by activist leaders, as individual storytellers, and by groups, as collaborative storytellers, will be explained and demonstrated, in an emotionally charged, issue-focused hour.

If you are interested in how stories help us make sense of a chaotic, ever-changing world, how authentic stories can trump propaganda, and how student storytellers are driving a movement for landmark societal change, this is a Newstory session you do not want to miss.
