Crisis messaging leads to crisis fatigue... But when we balance urgency (“we can see a problem ahead”) with efficacy (“there’s a way to steer around it”), we help people see that change is possible. #OnFrameFridays

About us
The FrameWorks Institute's mission is to advance the nonprofit sector's communications capacity by conducting and translating empirical research on framing the public discourse about a variety of social problems – from health equity to criminal justice to early childhood development to climate change. Our approach is unique in that we focus on both research and application. Our research team studies public thinking on different social issues and conducts original empirical research on frame effects. Our strategy team translates those research findings and turns them into engaging learning experiences and compelling communications products so partners can build their framing capacity and immediately apply our recommendations to their own work. We are committed to collaboratively shifting the way we collectively make sense of and communicate about different social issues in our society. We aim to support advocates' efforts to advance culture and social change through policy change.

Facts can have powerful effects on public thinking...but when they’re used in isolation, they don’t change how people think about social issues. Instead, framing our facts with empirically tested values and following up with clear solutions can make a real difference. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3XzTClT #OnFrameFridays

When it comes to data, less is more. If we stack up statistics to emphasize the severity of a problem, we’re more likely to spark overwhelm than action. But when we reduce the quantity of numbers we share, we increase people’s ability to think them through and we give ourselves room to offer context. #OnFrameFridays

No matter what happens in tomorrow's #debate, there's sure to be lots of framing of a certain type: "separate fates" vs. "shared fates." (Are candidates talking about social problems in ways that emphasize disconnection, or interconnection?) Download our debate watch party game to analyze this important framing distinction as the evening unfolds!
