Community Water Center
Training advocates to craft messaging that motivates
Spitfire partnered with the Community Water Center to host a full-day, hybrid, bilingual communication training to help local anchor organizations build concise and compelling messages about the growing necessity for safe, equitable drinking water in the San Joaquin Valley. We helped participants craft both foundational and tailored messaging to motivate priority audiences to act on specific water-related issues across their communities (e.g., drought, clean/safe water access, affordability, community representation, etc.), including local and regional policymakers, community leaders, peers, advocates and San Joaquin Valley residents. Participants left the training with top-line messaging to deploy immediately in their communities.
