As September wraps up, we are quickly closing in on early voting and Election Day! Before the voter registration deadline for the November election rolls around on October, 7, our League will be busy with several dedicated voter registration events and the Sept. 30 Fake or Fact public forum on misinformation. If you want to get involved at this critical time, please login on the website, then check our volunteer opportunities page, or see the article at the bottom of this newsletter for additional volunteering positions.

 

North Texas Giving Day was this month and LWV-CC supporters showed up! We received $1,235, beating our goal by 23%! THANK YOU to everyone who donated to support our mission of Empowering Voters, Defending Democracy.

 

 

The League of Women Voters of Collin County is pleased to present a public forum on September 30, 2024, 6:30PM at Haggard Library in Plano on media literacy and how to identify misinformation and disinformation. Our presenter, Dr. Lauren Ratliff Santoro, is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at Dallas and teaches a course on "fake news". All are welcome to join!

We expect an influx of misinformation and disinformation related to the upcoming elections will occur over the next several months. This is a great opportunity to educate yourself on how to identify false and misleading information. 

 

This event is not sponsored by the Plano Public Library System or the City of Plano.
