We, the brave people of all races, genders and backgrounds, are joining together to march, strike and demand our loved ones come home safe.

The #BraveofUS will always choose love and support for our neighbors over the division peddled by the Trump regime and their billionaire bullies.

While the Trump regime dismantles the Department of Education, Elon Musk is set to make more money than every U.S. elementary teacher combined.

The regime want us to point fingers at each other so their billionaire bullies can pick our pockets & steal the wealth our work creates.
A graphic with the headline “Elon Musk is set to make more than every U.S. elementary teacher combined.” Dozens of green dollar-bill icons are scattered along the top and bottom. At the bottom of the image, a photo of Elon Musk wearing dark sunglasses, a black “Make America Great Again” hat, and a black jacket, raising both fists in the air as if celebrating. Photo credits in small text in the corner. Screenshot of a Politico article. The headline reads, “Trump administration launches plan to dismantle Education Department,” with a subheadline explaining that core functions would shift to other federal agencies. Below the text is a photo of the U.S. Department of Education building, showing its exterior sign and concrete facade. A photo credit appears beneath the image.

We all deserve to move through the world safely, with dignity and without fear.

On this #TDOR, we honor transgender people whose lives were cut short by hate.

Together, we can light the way to a better future, where people of all races, places & genders are free to be ourselves.

Last month, our team traveled to Atlanta to learn from @georgiayouthco.bsky.social. It was inspiring to join their organizing and canvassing efforts.

We were grateful for this opportunity to see GYJC's incredible work in action — which led to major victories in the Georgia PSC election.
GYJC organizers and WMTF staff crouch together in a tight group on a parking lot, smiling and holding up canvassing flyers. The group looks energized and ready to engage voters under a cloudy Atlanta sky, with trees and a tall building in the background. A large group of GYJC organizers and WMTF staff sit together on an outdoor staircase, smiling for a group photo after canvassing. Many are holding flyers or clipboards, and the energy is joyful and collaborative under a partly cloudy sky. GYJC organizers and WMTF staff gather indoors in a warmly lit building with exposed beams, posing for a group photo. Everyone is smiling and clustered close, showing camaraderie and connection after a day of canvassing and learning together. GYJC organizers and WMTF staff stand behind a Georgia Youth Justice Coalition outreach table. They’re holding flyers, clipboards, and GYJC literature, smiling as they wrap up a canvassing event surrounded by trees.

This graphic from @workingfamilies.org is a good example of the Race Class Narrative in action.

✅ Opens with a value that we all share across race and background

✅ Shares what we are for without repeating the opposition's language.

✅ Uses simple, everyday language.
Illustrated graphic with pastel tones from the Working Families Party (WFP) showing diverse families and communities in apartments, kitchens, and parks. Text reads: “We believe that no matter where we come from or what we look like, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods, and a safe world. We want to be free.” The illustrations show people greeting neighbors from windows, a family sharing a meal, and children playing in a park while adults sit and talk under trees. WFP logo is in the top right corner.

Our communities are hungry for a bold, inspiring vision of what we can build together.

And too often, that vision isn’t being offered.

For #MessagingMonday, here are some tips on presenting a clear vision that includes everyone coming together across differences to achieve it.
Illustration of a diverse group of people assembling puzzle pieces, planting a sapling, and working on gears over a globe, symbolizing collective vision and effort. At the top left is the We Make the Future Action logo. Large text reads: “Presenting a Clear Vision.” A black box below reads: “MESSAGING MONDAY.” Bottom right: “SWIPE RIGHT” with three arrow icons. Three women of different skin tones stand together, one holding a protest sign and another raising a fist. Above them, text says: “In moments like this, it’s important to remember that resisting the opposition is only part of our work. People want fighters and are hungry for a bold, inspiring vision of what we can build together. And too often, that vision isn’t being offered.” Bottom right: “SWIPE RIGHT” with arrows. Illustration of a large, diverse group of people, including a person in a wheelchair, standing together as a community. Text reads: “As you craft your narratives, remember to include a vision for what we are working to change that includes everyone coming together across differences to achieve it.” Bottom right: “SWIPE RIGHT” with arrows. Illustrated landscape with a yellow path winding through a purple field under a bright sky. Text below reads: “A strong vision helps people see themselves in the work. It invites people into a community that cares about them. It keeps us grounded, focused, and moving forward together.” Bottom right: “SWIPE RIGHT” with arrows.

When we invest in housing, health care, and jobs, we build a future where we all thrive.

Together across race, background, and gender, we keep each other safe by addressing the root causes of harm.

With @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory in the NYC mayoral election, we wanted to re-share some important lessons for all of us organizing for a brighter future for all, no exceptions.

What are other lessons on narrative and messaging that you’re taking away from the campaign?
Blue background with large header text: “LEADING WITH VALUES” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s campaign is relentless about what his candidacy is about: Affordability, dignity, and a better quality of life for all. When people tried to pull him off of this values-based message, he did not take the bait. Instead, he provided a concise, direct response and pivoted quickly to the future-forward values central to his platform. Mamdani reminds us that we don’t have to give more airtime to our opponents; instead, we should be proactive with our values and our messages.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 3 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “USING SIMPLE LANGUAGE” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s campaign platform was chock full of simple, straightforward, and repeatable language. Too often, candidates lead with detailed policy plans. But instead of going that route, Mamdani talked about free childcare, fast and free buses, freezing the rent, and city-owned grocery stores. This made his platform instantly recognizable and repeatable by millions of New Yorkers, allowing his central message of affordability, dignity, and a better quality of life to spread beyond the reach of his campaign team.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 4 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “EMPLOYING CREATIVE TACTICS” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s opposition often derided his campaign’s use of video. But what they failed to see was that his campaign was using video, social media, and more broadly, the culture to energize his base of supporters, who were more likely to see, click on, and spread his content online. We also applaud the times when he spoke Spanish, Arabic, or Hindi in videos, which showed New Yorkers across races, languages, and origins that they too belong and are a part of the future of New York City.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 5 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “CENTERING ORGANIZING” Body text reads: “The Mamdani campaign didn’t just go for clicks and likes; they translated that digital engagement into on-the-ground organizing efforts, canvassing neighborhoods across the boroughs. We also know that Mamdani’s campaign platform was built upon decades of organizing, particularly in neighborhoods of color, by groups like CAAAV, Desis Rising Up & Moving, NY Communities for Change, and many more. It’s a reminder that we cannot have a sharp, winning narrative strategy without a disciplined organizing strategy that builds power from the ground-up.”

The MAGA regime is letting big corporate polluters poison our air, land & water for profit.

But united across race and place, we can fight for clean air & water, green jobs, and a future where all of us can thrive.

He’s labeled “GREEDY POLITICIANS” and responds: “I know this, and I love you.”

This rebrand of the Daily Mail by @everyonehateselon.bsky.social fits so well w/ our current moment.

The MAGA regime wants us the point the finger at each other — blaming Black, brown, trans, queer, Native & new Americans — while their billionaire bullies steal the wealth our work creates.
Photo of a fake newspaper front page styled like the Daily Mail. The masthead reads: “Daily Mail – New True Edition.” The bold headline says: “WE BLAME MIGRANTS SO YOU DON’T BLAME BILLIONAIRES.” Subheadline: “Revealed: we want you looking the other way while our super-rich mates rob you blind.” A red box labeled “EXCLUSIVE” is followed by fake article text, which satirically admits that the paper blames migrants to distract readers from wealthy elites who avoid taxes, pollute, and exploit workers.

Don't fall for the MAGA regime’s tricks. They use racism, hate & fear to harm us all.

But we’ve got the treat: People coming together to call out the villains, expose their hateful agenda and fight for a future where we all have the freedom to thrive.

Panel 1: Fred and the gang face a masked villain with the caption: “WHO IS STEALING THE WEALTH THAT OUR WORK CREATES?” Panel 2: Fred unmasks the villain, revealing a note that says: “USING HATE, RACISM, AND FEAR SO WE POINT THE FINGERS AT EACH OTHER” Panel 3: The mask is off, revealing the real culprit labeled: “THE MAGA REGIME”

This short video from @fundmifuture.bsky.social is great at focusing on what our taxes pay for, including sidewalks, roads, and school buses.

When billionaires finally pay what they owe in taxes, we can fund the care, support, and services that our families need.

Blue background with white and bold text. Heading reads: “FULL NARRATIVE: Freedom to be Ourselves” Body text reads: “Black, white or brown, Native or newcomer, transgender or not — Americans won’t let anyone dim our light. That’s why young people and families are speaking out in support of transgender youth, taking on the MAGA regime and their billionaire backers who single people out to bully so they can put themselves on top — banning books, denying medical care, and passing laws controlling who we can be and love.” Continuation of the previous narrative on a solid blue background. Heading reads: “FULL NARRATIVE: Freedom to be Ourselves” Body text: “By joining together as we have done before to pass protections against discrimination, we can light the way to a better future, where people of all races, genders, and backgrounds are free to be ourselves and thrive.” Centered text at the bottom: “[Add Call to Action]”

Together we must name the villains.

We must expose their playbook of fear, division, and distraction.

And we must use social proof to bring more people into the fight for a future where we all have the freedom to thrive.
Illustration of a skeleton with a carved pumpkin head sitting cross-legged against a bright blue background. Text at the top reads: “When writing messaging, you should always name Villains, their motivation, and how they use strategic racism, transphobia and/or scapegoating to divide us while they harm us all.” A large speech bubble next to the skeleton reads: “We need to take on the MAGA regime and their billionaire backers who single people out to bully so they can put themselves on top.” Bottom-left text: “Source: We Make the Future Action, Guide to Messaging Our Freedoms” Bottom-right: Three arrows and the phrase “Swipe Right” Illustration of a vampire and a werewolf on a blue background. Text at the top reads: “Without naming a villain, our opposition’s storyline that some ‘other’ is the villain goes unchecked, allowing their falsehoods to become the prevailing narrative.” Text at the bottom reads: “Unlike our opposition, we define villains by their actions, not their identity — creating the opportunity for them to come join our side at any time if they stop harming our communities.” Illustration of three children trick-or-treating — dressed as a black cat, a witch, and a pumpkin-headed ghost — walking together with candy buckets. Two speech bubbles above them read: “We are speaking out.” “Families around the country are taking action.” Top text reads: “A powerful tool to employ is social proof — the phenomenon that people naturally want to be part of what is going on around them. When we show our audience that a desired behavior is ‘in,’ they are more likely to participate in that behavior.”

The Trump regime tries to scapegoat us based on where we live, who we love, and what we look like, while they hide in plain sight.
