Scott Wittkopf
Scott, who worked with George Lakoff in 2013, heads the Wisconsin-based AF2 (Authentic Framing), a political communication consulting firm.
He co-founded the Forward Institute and served as its chair and research director.
Forward Institute was Wisconsin’s first independent think tank committed to connecting critical public policy research and effective messaging methods based on cognitive and neural science.
George Lakoff in “The All New Don’t Think of an Elephant” (2014): “To my knowledge, there is now only one think tank devoted to the overall framing of issues from both a policy perspective and a communicative perspective – the Forward Institute in Wisconsin."

At it’s core, My Brother’s Keeper is an example of a bold, broad initiative working toward a robust inclusive prosperity touching the lives of every American family and community, and not just the lives of a lucky few individuals. It helps expand economic opportunity for some of the Americans that need it the most.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/my-brothers-keeper
Through My Brother’s Keeper, community leaders around the country are taking steps to help some of our most vulnerable citizens escape hardship and injustice, and discover an opportunity to get ahead. And at the same time, Congressional Republicans, while rhetorically trying to address inequality, continue to push the same old policies that we know in reality only increase it. My Brother’s Keeper is an initiative launched by the White House in conjunction with cities, towns, businesses and foundations to address opportunity gaps faced by young men of color. “The fundamental idea behind this initiative,” Attorney General Holder said today, “is that every child in America should have the opportunity to grow, to succeed, and to contribute to their community and their country.” My Brother’s Keeper cuts across a diverse and complex set of of issues: education, poverty, health, the criminal justice system, racial bias, and more.
Is this article about the key value of empathy in our children something to worry about for the future, or not?
