Creating Change Through Research

The webinars below are an introduction to the Seize the Narrative Playbook, reviewing the research and strategies behind the messages. The webinars review research-driven and field-practiced strategies, tactics, and messages that we can use collectively to seize this powerful moment to drive new narratives for housing and racial justice in the Bay Area. See how the Playbook builds from local lay of the land, field analysis, and a robust regional research program — as well as collaboration and coordination with state and national housing justice researchers, organizers, and narrative experts — to offer concrete guidance on how to advance housing and racial justice here, locally and regionally.
