Dear John,
We're excited to tell you about the work we've been doing to build power and justice for migrants and immigrants through narrative!
Race Forward’s Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy was launched in 2020 to build power for effective narratives that honor the humanity of migrants, refugees, and immigrants, and advance freedom and justice for all.
From July 2020 - October 2021, we brought together a select cohort of sixteen leaders from organizing, advocacy and the arts to prototype immigration narrative projects that meet the challenges of our current political moment.
To celebrate our accomplishments and give you a preview of what we have in store, we would like to invite you to a special event, featuring Jose Antonio Vargas, Cristina Jiménez, Aisha Shillingford, Omar Offendum, Christina Patiño-Houle, Mónica Ramírez, Jeff Chang, and more!
A Future for All of Us: Narrative Strategy for the Immigrant Movement
Tues, March 15th
10am-11am PT / 1-2pm ET
RSVP: https://bit.ly/BLabLaunch
Join us to hear from these leading immigrant narrative leaders on how the Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy is building narrative power and aligning narrative strategy for the migrant and immigrant justice movement. We'll share what we've done together, our findings and toolkit, and where we are headed.
This event also marks the launch of our Chrysalis Lab, in which we will make four $80K grants to innovative, at-scale narrative projects.
In addition to the Chrysalis Lab, we will be offering training in narrative strategy and design this year to anyone who wants to advance pro-immigrant narratives.
To learn more, visit us at our newly relaunched webpages here.
On the website, you'll find:
-
One of the most comprehensive narrative strategy and design toolkits in the field

Come visit us soon, and we hope to see you at our launch event!
