With the presidential election less than two months away, civil rights organizations and democracy experts are waging a battle against hate speech and disinformation targeting immigrants and voters of color.
On Thursday, representatives from the Arab American Institute, Common Cause, and UnidosUS gathered for an online panel hosted by The Leadership Conference Education Fund to discuss ways to combat disinformation.
The convening comes just two days after this week’s presidential debate, where former President Donald Trump repeated a debunked claim about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets.
