🌱 Becoming a Respite for 2024: An Update from Roots of Change 🌍

Hello & Happy Sunday, Roots of Change readers!

How has your ☀️ summer been? Did you find a nice respite from the firehose of news that continues to flow? It’s hard to believe, but the kids will go back to school soon and we’ll be on the road to 2024.

Pardon the weekend intrusion, but I couldn’t wait to share the news! As we approach a year that will define our future (I wish that was hyperbole), we are expanding to better support changemakers! 🥳

As a subscriber to this newsletter, you probably recognize that our world is on 🔥 fire, our institutions are crumbling 🧗🏼‍♀️ and you want to do something about it.

More Storytelling, More Changemaking!

Well, that’s where we come in! I’m expanding Roots of Change to share more tools and resources with the community. I write this newsletter to help you feel more empowered and well-resourced to cultivate the change we need.

Whether you are an activist, a concerned citizen, work at a non-profit, on a political campaign, or as a communications consultant, this newsletter is right for you!

Thursdays (5-minute read)

Don’t worry, if the thought of 2 emails a week is too much, free subscribers still get 1 email a week and occasionally a bonus email. No changes needed!

• 🌱 Roots of our World: a monthly 4-part series exploring a cultural/political topic sent every Thursday. (Read our popular series The Loneliness Epidemic, The Impacts of Social Media, and Economic Growth vs. Climate Resilience)

✨ What’s New?

Or you can upgrade to get access to support for your storytelling, messaging, digital, and communications work, whether that’s on your personal Instagram or for a large non-profit.

Tuesdays (5-10 minute read)

• 📚 Storytelling for Change: actionable communications advice for advocacy, activists, & campaigns every Tuesday.

VIP Access

• 🛠 Access to a free library of communications templates and guides.
• 🧰 Enjoy 50% off one of our digital toolkits. Choose from branding, digital advertising, social media, email, or digital creative.
• 🎟 Get subscriber-only emails with access to exclusive or discounted tools, workshops, and events!

To kick off, all content will be free in September. If you want to help support us sooner, we greatly appreciate it! I rely solely on reader support to do this work. And don’t forget to share with any friends or colleagues who are looking for a respite as we continue to work to make the world a better place for all.

Thank you and here's to cultivating a better world! 🌍

In Solidarity,
Sam Chavez
