What to say on November 6? Words like “community,” “diversity,” and “democracy” are commonplace in nonprofit vernacular. But how do average Americans react to them? Amy McIsaac has answers. She leads a project at Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE) that studies how civic language describing our values, ideals, and practices can motivate people or turn them off. Join us on October 30 at 12:30 p.m. ET for a live conversation with McIsaac about her analysis of words that bring us together and those that divide us. 🎟 The event is free. Registration is required to watch. 🎟
