There are so many news and social media outlets filling our air waves with information every day that it’s hard to keep up. How can voters determine what is accurate information and what is false? For a democracy to thrive, it is important that voters have the TOOLS they need to be able to stay informed and make decisions based on facts. Join a Zoom webinar on Thursday, May 19, from 4:00 – 5:30 pm to learn about tools and strategies for voters to use to find reliable and accurate information based on facts.
