** Disinformation vs. Democracy: Soros and the Fight for Open Societies ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------


** MONDAY 3/22 | 1:15 pm – 2:15 pm ET
VIA ZOOM

REGISTER NOW ([link removed])

For decades, philanthropist George Soros has been dogged by conspiracy theories and disinformation. A new documentary from filmmaker Jesse Dylan shows how his opponents—from Glenn Beck to the Proud Boys—have leveraged racist, anti-Semitic tropes to smear not just Soros but those who’ve benefitted from his support for open societies globally. Now, with disinformation posing a direct threat to democracy, stemming the tide of lies has never been more crucial. Join the Brennan Center for Justice and PEN America for a conversation about truth, lies, and how to support open societies at a fractured historical moment. In advance of the conversation, participants will have a chance to watch for free the film Soros.

Register in advance for the event. ([link removed]) After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about attending the event. A question period will be open to the audience after the panelists’ discussion.
