A town hall about exposing and opposing racist disinformation campaigns that erode trust in voting, vaccinations, civic participation, and democracy. Join us for a conversation with an array of thought leaders about the hidden origins and intersections of those campaigns, and strategies for opposing deceit.
This conversation about the motives of disinformation and misinformation and the way that it affects society includes moderator Maria Teresa Kumar, President & Founder of Voto Latino; Maya Berry, Executive Director of the Arab American Institute; Jean Guerrero, Investigative Journalist, Columnist with The L.A. Times and Author; Blima Marcus, DNP, ANP-BC, RN, OCN, Oncology Nurse and Founder of the EMES Initiative; Mary J. Owen, MD (Tlingit); and Nsé Ufot, CEO of The New Georgia Project.
DISRUPTING DECEIT is a part of “Exploring Hate Presents,” a town hall series from The WNET Group’s initiative Exploring Hate: Antisemitism, Racism, and Extremism. How can we defeat those deceptions? Watch all three conversations about conspiracy theories that never disappear, racist scapegoating throughout history, and disinformation that threatens democracy today on Youtube here.
