National Resources
Total course time: 45 mins
In our research about voter protection efforts, we identified the need for a concentrated “primer” or “bootcamp” on how non-partisan voter protection staff and volunteers can identify and respond to AI disinformation -- a gap that exists nationally and in key states.
This toolkit will educate volunteers and staff of 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organizations in the field on the threat that AI-generated disinformation poses to our elections and provide them with practical tools and resources that they can use to respond. This project serves as a starting point, not a final stop, on our journey to better understand the role that disinformation and AI can play in our democracy.
In addition to these national resources, you can find on-demand materials for North Carolina, Arizona, and Michigan. We are also working on materials for Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.
We encourage you to share these resources with your team and within your networks in the voter protection space.
Not a voter protection volunteer, but curious about how you can employ simple strategies to combat disinformation in your everyday life? Check out our 5 quick tips!
