Join us for 'Victory 2024: Abortion and Reproductive Freedom' from Smart Politics and political psychiatrist, Karin Tamerius.This webinar is for blue voters who are eager to leverage the power of persuasive communication in their conversations with voters who identify as "pro-life" and "anti-abortion".Whether you're a seasoned activist or new to politics, this session is tailored to equip you with the fundamental skills necessary for initiating and navigating conversations that change hearts and minds.In this session, we will apply the core principles of Smart Politics—a form of political advocacy that intertwines psychological insight with political acumen—to the issue of abortion.First, you'll learn about current public opinion and why even people who say they are pro-life are not always as anti-abortion as they seem.Second, you'll learn why abortion is the most important issue in the 2024 election and why it has the potential to foster a long-term partisan realignment.Next, you'll discover the surprising secret to persuading "pro-life" voters on the abortion issue.Finally, you will get an opportunity to practice with an AI chatbot designed to serve as a foil in your conversations on the abortion issue so you can hone your skills before talking with real people. <h3>About the instructor</h3>Dr. Karin Tamerius is a political psychiatrist and the founder of Smart Politics, a nonprofit that is saving democracy by teaching Democrats how to persuade Republicans, one conversation at a time.Since the 2016 election, Dr. Tamerius has worked full time bringing clinical communication skills into the political realm, teaching regular voters and activists how to depolarize conflicts and share their message in a way others can hear. In addition to teaching public workshops, she has trained activists for progressive political organizations such as Indivisible, MoveOn, and Women's March.Dr. Tamerius has pioneered the use of chat bots for teaching political dialogue skills, publishing two interactive pieces for the New York Times that taught Democrats and Republicans how to discuss politics with each other without destroying the 2018 and 2019 holidays using an “Angry Uncle Bot”. Recently, Dr. Tamerius created a "smarter" version of the Angry Uncle Bot powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 that can talk about any political issue.Her dialogue work has been featured in media outlets across the political spectrum, including NPR, The Guardian, Time, Scientific American, Fox and Friends, Business Insider, and Mother Jones.
