 Combatting Disinformation & Disruption- Supporting a Safe, Secure, Inclusive Election
Tue, Oct 13th | 4–5 pm EDT

Over the coming weeks, the foundation of our democracy — the integrity of our elections — is at stake. Voters are facing many challenges: new methods for casting ballots, an under-resourced election infrastructure during a global pandemic, and, unfortunately, disinformation efforts by domestic and foreign forces seeking to sow confusion.

We’d like to invite you to a conversation about what steps your organization or company can take in the final weeks before November 3rd to support voter safety, a well-run election, and a healthy democracy.

Join our briefing Tue, Oct 13 at 4pm ET / 1pm PT »<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZItfuusrDMtG92r0QQ5Ui-SqSs3YRE3DObY>

Strategies to Combat Mis- and Disinformation
