Election disinformation is as much an offline problem as it is an online problem in communities of color, but organizations on the ground have tried-and-true methods to build trust and tackle information shortcomings in their communities.

Join Protect Democracy on Friday, June 24 at 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT for a conversation with Nora Benavidez, Jessica Boling, Shauntay Nelson, and Samuel Woolley about structural election disinformation in communities of color in the United States. Experts will discuss the nature of the threat, its consequences, and what steps stakeholders can take to mitigate it.

Wednesday’s conversation will expand upon Protect Democracy’s new report ([link removed]) , written by our partners at the University of Texas at Austin, about structural disinformation in communities of color.

As would-be authoritarians seek and gain power at all levels of government, it’s essential that all voters have access to reliable, trusted information so they can make their voices heard in November. Join our conversation by registering below:
