George "Don't Think of An Elephant" Lakoff Workshop

Thursday, March 17, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Willow Glen Coffee Roasting Company 1383 Lincoln Avenue, San Jose, CA

You are invited to attend a George Lakoff workshop, but seating is limited to 25. The workshop, presented by Adrienne Craig Grey, consists of a half hour video describing framing concepts followed by an exercise defining progressive values and issues, and choosing the language with which to present them. This will help us to understand the difference between communicating a sound political argument and persuasive one.

George Lakoff, PhD, is Professor of cognitive linguistics at UC Berkeley, Senior Fellow at The Rockridge Institute and member of the advisory board of the Frameworks Institute. He is also author of "Don't Think of an Elephant!" the definitive handbook for understanding what happened in the 2004 election and communicating effectively about key issues facing America today. It is required reading for progressive elected offiacials and their staff. Lakoff has become a key advisor to the Democratic party, helping them develop their message and frame the political debate.

There is a $1.00 admission charge per person.
