DESCRIPTION:Democracy Action Network* Presents:  Honing Your Power Tools: A Media 
 Workshop  What does the right -wing do that we progressives don't know how 
 to do?  Why are they so effective at getting their message through, even 
 though their proposals and policies are mean-spirited and often wrong for 
 the country.  Unlike most of us, they've been through media training, where 
 they hone their message and polish their style so it sounds the best it 
 can.  And now you can learn some of their secrets!   Sunday May 1, 2005  
 11AM – 3:00PM (bring a bag lunch, some snacks will be provided)  Redwood 
 Gardens  2951 Derby Street at Belrose  Berkeley, California  RSVP to   
 Honing your Power Tools: A Media Workshop will cover:  Part One (led by 
 Marketing Executive David Taber) will teach you how to communicate more 
 effectively in person, to an audience, and through the media, using 
 exercises and real-world examples.   Part Two – Speak Up (led by Video 
 Producer Terry Lamb) will allow you to practice speaking your convictions 
 in a simulated media context. The exercise will be conducted in small 
 groups and will allow each person to state a position and answer questions 
 about that position.    Democracy is about speaking up and organizing.  By 
 remaining silent, we abandon the national political agenda to right-wing 
 extremists. We need to take back our voices, and our country.   (Note: 
 There will be another meeting following ours that you may want to attend. 
 It’s about setting up precinct operations in the East Bay and will be led 
 by Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club’s Judy Pope.)     Democracy Action 
 Network (formerly Democracy Rising) is a quarterly meeting offering 
 practical skills to progressive activists. It is an off-shoot of East Bay 
 for Democracy, a group formed by Howard Dean campaign volunteers who are 
 committed to progressive activism and social justice.
