Communications as Community Building: Reflections from ComNet24

Earlier this month, the Horizon Foundation communications team, Cat Harmon and Kerry Darragh, flew off to Kansas City to join ComNet24, the annual nationwide conference for communications professionals working on issues for social change. They heard about how to use the nuances of language to increase the impact of the foudnation's work, how to challenge dominant and harmful narratives, how to deal with the pervasiveness of misinformation and how to center community voices in years-long policy campaigns.

In addition to declaring that Kansas City barbecue is the nation’s best barbecue (don’t @ us, Carolina, Memphis or Texas!), Cat and Kerry brought several lessons back home to the Horizon team that they will carry forward in our work.
