Join a Conference Call with George Lakoff

I was thrilled to learn how many meetups there were and how many of you came to them. I am honored by your presence and your enthusiasm. (This sort of thing doesn't happen to professors very often.) I dropped in unannounced at one in Oakland and 96 enthusiastic DFAers were there—not just for framing but also for their very impressive local candidates.

I've been given the wonderful opportunity to discuss issues raised by the meetups on large-scale conference calls on Monday January 10 and Tuesday January 11 at [6:00 p.m Central]. I hope you can make it.  Click here to sign up for the calls .

There is nothing easy about framing. It's far more than just getting some magic words to say. It has to do with changing the way you think—getting insight into your own deepest values and the reasons why you are committed citizens.

Many of us at Rockridge attended meetups around the Bay Area. We were uniformly impressed by their quality. But what was covered there was only a first step. There is a lot more to framing than you have seen so far.

Please dial in on Monday or Tuesday.  Click here to sign up.  I'm looking forward to your comments and questions. I need your feedback if I am to learn how to improve on our work. To this end, the Rockridge Institute has set up an interactive forum on framing issues. Please come and join in.

Thanks. I hope to talk to you soon.

—George Lakoff
