IMC working groups, projects, and partners are working to fight the tide of disinformation. We have just received a grant and extensive educational materials from MediaJustice to do this work. We will focus on racialized disinformation: disinformation campaigns that specifically target communities of color. We are establishing a team of community leaders to respond to disinformation such as fake news discrediting the election results, belittling of communities through false rumors about COVID, or spreading other misleading or damaging messages. If you’d like to find out about resources or get involved in the IMC’s response to disinformation, email programdirector@ucimc.org.
