From Ultraviolet:

Disinformation is used to target women; Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; LGBTQ+ folks; disabled people; immigrants; and more, with the goal of deterring us from accessing necessary resources and care, and silencing our voices at the polls.2 This tactic hurts us, damages our democracy, and is not okay. Full. Stop.

Fighting this type of disinformation, intended to disrupt our ability to discern fact from fiction and limit our freedoms, takes ALL of us. Join us on Wednesday, August 9, at 6:30pm ET/5:30pm CT/4:30pm MT/3:30pm PT to train to become a disinformation fighter!
