Media and Narrative Building on Homelessness and COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the value of housing, as staying home has become a literal matter of life-or-death. As the moratorium on eviction comes to an end, a new consciousness is emerging that anyone may become homeless. Although this understanding is at the forefront of issues among Americans, counter-messaging of derogatory narrative stoking fears--based on racist and classist stereotypes--is also on the rise as well.
Join us Wednesday, August, 12, 2020 at 2pm EDT, as we bring experts on media, including those with lived experience of homelessness, to discuss how to use this moment to shape the narrative moving forward.
This webinar will feature:
- Mark Horvath (he/him/his), Founder of Invisible People
- Theo Henderson (he/him/his), Founder of WeTheUnhoused
- Karianna Barr (she/hers), Director, Development and Communications, The Law Center
- Additional speakers to come
