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.

Join the LWV Greenwich to welcome Dr. Carolyn J. Lukensmeyer, the first Executive Director of the National Institute For Civil Discourse. As a leader in the field of deliberative democracy, she will talk about why we have difficulty communicating across party lines and how we can work toward restoring and strengthening our democracy. Register is required.
