The Public Narrative

The Public Narrative is a storytelling approach used to inspire action and build community by sharing compelling stories that connect personal experiences, shared values, and a vision for the future. It involves three key parts: the "Story of Self," which personalizes the issue; the "Story of Us," which emphasizes common values and community identity; and the "Story of Now," which highlights the urgency and call to action. Together, these stories motivate people to work together towards positive change by fostering understanding, empathy, and a shared sense of purpose.
