Why is this useful?

What is disinformation? Lies and misleading information deliberately spread for financial or political gain, usually at the expense of the public good. Coordinated groups of bad actors actively push disinformation in order to divide communities, delay action, and distract and demoralize those trying to build a healthy planet and safer world. While disinformation harms everybody, coordinated disinformation campaigns often disproportionately target and harm Black, Latino, Native American, Asian, and Middle Eastern communities This toolkit outlines the key Do's and Don'ts you need to know to effectively counter disinformation and help fight for the truth, facts, and science.
