Join the LWV Civil Discourse Network and National Institute for Civil Discourse to explore ways that everyday Americans can build our capacity to establish resilience to the impact of mis/disinformation. As we think about some of the challenges in our democracy now, the information ecosystem is helping foster increased division and distrust. Misinformation spreading on social media has become an unfortunate fact of life: fueling polarization and hate, driving down trust in institutions, amplifying fringe science and conspiracies, and inciting violence. Every political and social issue is now impacted by the threat of false and misleading claims that can confuse and radicalize the public.

Virtual Event

Join us on Thursday! January 6 2021 was a violent and deadly attack against all Americans – against our country, our democracy, and our freedom as voters to choose the leaders that represent us. Those who attacked our country are still hard at work attempting to silence our voices and preparing future attempts to sabotage free and fair elections and with it our democracy. This January 6, Americans across race, place, party, and background are holding vigils to say: In America, the voters decide the outcome of elections. Coming together, we can realize the promise of democracy for all of us - no matter our color, zip code, or income - so we all have an equal say in the decisions that shape our daily lives and futures.
