SUMMARY:Disinformation and Our Civic Future  Learn How Business Can Play a  Positive Role in American Elections
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret: America’s electoral system faces a crisis of trust\, driven by the proliferation of disinformation and conspiracy theories that threatens the public’s faith in the civic discourse and the conduct of elections. All this breeds polarization and economic instability. \nAs institutions that depend on a well-functioning government and society\, US businesses have a vested interest in addressing these challenges and investing in the future of the democratic system. \nBut what\, specifically\, can businesses do to address these challenges? \nSome companies are already taking steps to educate their workforces and customers to spot unfounded claims about the integrity of our election infrastructure. As trusted institutions\, business can help to respond to distortions\, myths and outright lies about how elections are conducted and verified in the U.S. \nJoin us on October 29th\, 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET for a timely webinar—featuring leaders from business\, tech\, and civil society. We’ll explore the risks facing democracy\, the state-of-play regarding state and federal elections policy\, and practical actions the private sector can take to promote trust and transparency in campaigns and elections. \nSpeakers: \n     Craig Newmark\, Craig Newmark Philanthropies \n     Larry Norden\, Brennan Center \n     Sarah Bonk\, Business for America \nModerator: Justin Talbot Zorn\, National Election Defense Coalition \n\n     Other Speakers to be announced \n\nRegister soon because space is limited.
