The League of Women Voters of Sussex County, Delaware, The League of Women Voters of Delaware, and the League of Women Voters of New York State are proud to co-sponsor: Fact vs. Fiction: Training the Public to Identify Mis- and Dis-information, presented by Erica Smitka, Deputy Director, LWVNY.

In recent years, polarization, extremism, and the amplification of mis- and disinformation have impacted election administration as bad actors try to sway election outcomes. It’s important to combat the rising tide of mis- and disinformation as it threatens harm to online and in-person communities.  

Learn to distinguish between fact and fiction and how to train the public to do the same. Join us for a presentation developed by the LWV of New York (LWVNY) for their Regional Training Workshops, and generously shared with the Delaware Leagues, this webinar will help you better distinguish between mis- and dis-information, the purpose and impact of both, and how we can educate the public to spot inaccurate information in their daily lives.

This webinar is exclusive to LWVDE members thanks to
our "sister" organization in New York State!
