Dive into the world of media and advocacy with our panelists, Gabriela Chavez-Lopez, the community-first leader of the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley, and Lorraine Gabbert, a trusted voice on local government from San José Spotlight. This is a unique opportunity to hear firsthand about the power of media in shaping narratives and driving change through the lens of an advocate and reporter’s working relationship. Attendees of the live webinar had the opportunity to work together on developing a media strategy plan to experience the effectiveness of options from the media toolkit: from op-eds and press releases to LinkedIn blogs to TikTok.
