FREE SCREENING OF GEORGE LAKOFF FILM

Please join us in Chapel Hill at the Hanes Art Center, on the 
University of North Carolina Campus, on Jan 30th at 5:30 PM for a 
screening of "How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: A filmed 
interview with George Lakoff."  Following the screening, trained 
facilitators will help everyone practice the lessons from this powerful 
film.

George Lakoff, a brilliant linguist at UC Berkeley, believes 
progressives need to frame and communicate our values clearly, so most 
people will recognize them as their own.  He offers a concise 
explanation of how conservatives have used language to dominate 
politics.  His concept of "framing" offers ways to convey the 
righteousness of progressive principles and programs in a way that will 
be *felt* by the American public. We need to NEVER use their frames, 
and we have to introduce our own positive frames.

January 30th at Hanes Art Center on UNC Campus -- doors open at 5:00 
PM.  Film to start shortly after 5:30. Discussion to follow.  For 
additional info contact Donna Bell, dcbell AT gmail.com, 919-923-1019 or 
Graig Meyer, jagmeyer AT earthlink.net, 919-967-6253.  This is a 
grassroots event led by individuals and co-sponsored by Democracy NC, 
SURGE (Students United for a Responsible Global Environment) and 
Internationalist Books.

George Lakoff's book "Don't Think of an Elephant" will be available 
from Internationalist Books on Monday as soon as the box arrives from 
the publisher!
