“‘It’s so easy to spread misinformation today because of digital tools and social media platforms.’” —Los Angeles Times
“‘Pre-Covid, people who believed in medical misinformation were generally just talking to each other, contained within their own little bubble, and you had to go and do a bit of work to find that bubble. But now, you don’t have to do any work to find that information — it is presented in your feed with any other types of information.’” —The New York Times
“It is important for individuals and groups to reach out to their neighbors to support them and to provide another vision on the local level for a pluralist, open and equitable democracy.” —Southern Poverty Law Center
