Rethinking Strategy in a Time of Democratic Crisis
We have just been a part of an historic weekend of millions expressing their patriotism and love of America through No Kings events.
But–how did we get to a place where we have to march in the streets to protest a President that thinks he is a King with his Republican courtiers in the Congress obeying his every edict—lawful or not?
Simply put, there was and still is a sustained investment in changing the culture of our county, defining for people what was happening to them, and ultimately, impacting voter choices. As you know, this has been the focus of PSG Consulting’s First Mondays webinar series this year, and this session was no different.
Panel Three of the Art of Narratives series included a truly fascinating presentation by Omar Parbhoo, outlining the work of Innovating for the Public Good (IFPG) to achieve foundational change through a cultural lens. We were also joined by Mathew Littman and Dori Howard of the leading firm Howlitt. They walked us through their work in the entertainment field that is changing our culture and, therefore, our politics. Our series moderator, Erica Williams Simon, raised some thoughtful questions about how this work–whether it is seen or unseen–can have an impact in our immediate electoral landscape.
