Join the FrameWorks Institute for a look at recent research findings that offer the public and policymakers guidance to effectively frame discussions about economic well-being.

When discussing policies and programs that help people achieve economic well-being and financial stability, people who advocate for change often have questions:

  • What happens when we shift the focus from poverty to economic well-being?
  • How can we highlight the role of systemic racism and sexism as root causes of economic marginalization, while still reaching a broad audience?
  • For nonprofits, does switching from talking about charity to talking about justice come with fundraising risks?

These excellent questions have empirical answers. Participants will walk away with:

  • An ability to spot and steer clear of communication “traps” in the fight against poverty.
  • Tested, powerful strategies for building support for more robust services.
  • Ways to connect social and economic issues in advocacy communications and coalitions.
