Use Your Voice

Advocate early. Communicate with purpose. 

Good ideas don't move forward on their own. From storytelling and filmmaking to public speaking and political coalition building, practitioners are expanding their tools to communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively in the rooms where decisions are made. 

The four talks from this action area highlight impactful advocacy and communication strategies for more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable processes and outcomes. 

The Use Your Voice section of lightning talks was presented as part of LAF's Future Now Webcast + Discussion Series held on July 15, 2026. Attendees were able to view the below recordings and engage with presenters during a live Q+A discussion. You can view the recording of the webcast here.
