Subject: 🧰 NEW RESOURCE: Messaging Guide to Support New Arrivals

Hi Anna,

As so many of us are welcoming new arrivals into our communities, we can all agree that no matter where we come from, we all want to live a safe, dignified life with the people we love. Unfortunately, anti-immigrant rhetoric from the right is desperately trying to paint the current moment as a crisis. They’re trying to stoke fear, advance their harmful political agenda, and distract the media from their own leadership failures. We can, and must, push back.

That’s why Local Progress and The Local Progress Impact Lab just released a messaging guide to help local elected officials speak proactively about welcoming and supporting new arrivals. 

These messages will help us reframe the negative, crisis-oriented narrative to a positive one rooted in empathy and dignity.

Together, we can tell the stories that highlight our communities’ readiness, willingness, and capacity to welcome new arrivals.

Join us April 30 at 1pm PT / 3pm CT / 4pm ET for a Network Narrative Briefing, where we’ll dig into the messaging guide and help you put it to good use! 

In the meantime, check out the messaging guide! You’ll find:

📝 Framing principles

✔️ Topline messages

💬 ‘How to respond when’ scenarios 

🎯 Policies to choose welcome 

🧰 Tactics and resources to leverage your voice to shift the narrative 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions by responding to this email, and we hope to see you for the briefing in April!

In solidarity,

Local Progress and the Local Progress Impact Lab work collectively to advance a racial and economic justice agenda through all levels of government.
