PRESENTATION DESIGN

The organization: UPLAN (United Parent Leaders Action Network)convenes parent leaders and groups nationally to share the best of leadership development and organizing. They engage parents who are often left out of decision-making tables and fight for policies such as equitable access to child care, parent engagement, and immigrant family protection. They represent 36 parent-led organizations and reach over 700,000 families each year.

The change: UPLAN has drafted a campaign self-evaluation tool that groups can use to guide and evaluate their campaigns. The tool will be shared with parents at various presentations to collect input and put it into practice in tandem with trainings and coaching.

The story: Foreword Motion designed a bilingual presentation to introduce the tool at convenings. Using visuals of parent power alongside the core content of the tool itself, the presentation will inform and inspire parents toward greater organizing impact.

Katie was so proactive in naming her questions at the beginning, expressing her flexibility and desire to work on the project. We troubleshooted the best process and then she took off! We were pressed for time and trying something new on our end, so there was more uncertainty coming from us which Katie handled beautifully. The presentation is bilingual and looks exciting— it got a positive reaction from our parent leaders.
