Winning the Future of Information
We know that racial and social progress is difficult in the face of half-truths and lies swirling online. You need the knowledge and easy-to-use tools to defend, debunk and disrupt untruths.
This training helps nonprofit leaders overcome false, misleading and manipulative content through savvy communications to ensure communities have the truth around their issues.
-
You have a lot on your plate already.
And you believe there’s likely a road map tailored to nonprofits (we have one!), but you haven’t found it yet and want an expert partner to put the lessons into action.
-
You need the right strategic partner to help.
And you need that partner to come with a strong track record and an understanding of the issues you work on and what you’re up against.
-
You need strategies that your entire team can implement.
Disinformation is a great challenge. Leadership, policy staff and communications team members all need to be equipped to play their part in overcoming untruths.
We’re online a lot, which leaves us vulnerable to manipulation. Coordinated disinformation campaigns drive wedges between neighbors, suppress voter participation and undermine an honest accounting of history. The intentional untruths make it difficult for communities to understand your work and why they should join you
That’s why Spitfire created Just Truth: A Communicator’s Guide to Combatting Disinformation in a Hyper-Connected World. We gathered the latest research on disinformation and strategies to combat it.
Our movements need to know how to defend, debunk and disrupt untruths — intentional and deliberate. We must inoculate our communities against the disinformation epidemic and build interconnected and impenetrable systems of trust and truth.
Join the whole virtual series or just one or two sessions to learn how to neutralize disinformation to focus your communities on the truth. Senior Spitfire strategists will share strategies and techniques to break through the noise, counter disinformation and — perhaps most importantly — avoid unwittingly spreading bad information yourself.
