Do you find it hard to separate what’s true and false on the Internet? Worried about the impacts of misinformation and disinformation? Join us on Tuesday, October 14, from 4-6 pm at the Walnut Street West Library (201 S 40th St, Philadelphia) for an interactive workshop to learn how you can proactively avoid the traps of social media manipulation and counter online harm.
False information, deepfakes, rage-inducing content, and social media echo chambers have fueled polarization and weakened our democracy for years. Understanding these phenomena is now more important than ever. Join UR Action Executive Team member Lisa Inks and Board member Tracie Potts to sharpen your digital awareness and contribute to a healthier democracy.

This event is part of the series Strengthening Collaboration Skills and Advancing Community Engagement in West Philadelphia, four two-hour interactive workshops that will strengthen your collaboration skills and advance community engagement in West Philadelphia.

Food and refreshments will be provided at each workshop!

This event is a collaboration between UR Action and the Free Library, with support from the SNF Paideia Program.
