November 8 is fast approaching. How are you helping your community prepare to vote with facts? Poynter has a long list of free or inexpensive opportunities to ensure your audience has quality information before heading to the polls.
Here are some of my favorites:
* From Poynter’s social-first digital media literacy initiative MediaWise, Find Facts Fast ([link removed]) is a free seven-day text message course that helps voters quickly discover trustworthy information and reliable sources online.

* The second annual United Facts of America will stream live from Washington, D.C., Sept. 27-29, 2022. Hear leading voices in journalism, academia, tech, health care and politics shed light on the issues concerning voters, from the economy and inflation to climate change and gun laws. Register to attend the festival of fact-checking ([link removed]) .

* PolitiFact is leveraging their reporting power to fact-check statements by the nation’s top candidates, especially in key battleground states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Subscribe to PolitiFact Weekly ([link removed]) to have their best fact-checks delivered free to your inbox.
