Using Expansive Messaging

In this edition we were joined by some of our progressive U.S. Candidates candidates, including two members of the Squad, who help explain the importance of expansive messaging. 

Watch as DFA's Communications Director Neil Sroka, Rep.Ayanna Pressley, Keeda Hayes, and Rep. Rashid Tlaib offer an inspirational introduction to expansive campaigning moderated by DFA Political Director Mondale Robinson, with assistance from DFA CEO Yvette Simpson!
