How To Build A Culture Of Participation.
Voter turnout is reaching all-time lows. But outside of politics, disengagement also affects our workplaces, schools, professional associations, unions, and even our neighbourhoods. For a variety of reasons, people are turning their backs on the institutions in their lives. Dave breaks down the barriers to engagement and explains how to create a meaningful culture of participation that encourages higher levels of involvement. Each presentation is custom-designed for the specific needs of the client, audience and event.
Agents Of Change: A Primer On Creative Activism
Political advocacy is how we make positive change in the world. There is no magical recipe, but with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can design an effective campaign to move the needle toward a political goal. Dave explains the ABCs of political organizing, the pitfalls, and tips for success. This training applies to groups of any size, from small grassroots efforts to large organizations trying to improve their government relations.
A War On Apathy: Imagining A New Politics
Our democracy is at a crossroads. Elections feel hollow, and our legislatures have become toxic. Fierce partisanship, centralized power, and distorted election results all contribute to our growing cynicism. Voters are increasingly turning towards the angriest candidates or simply tuning out completely.
Dave’s best-selling book Teardown reminds us that the future of our species doesn't need to look like a trainwreck. That we're capable of so much more.
It's time to raise our expectations: of the system, of each other and of ourselves. Only then can we re-imagine a new democracy, unrecognizable from today's political mess. Dave’s book and TV series is a recipe for change. A cure for cynicism. A war on apathy.
