WHY DOES THIS WORK MATTER?

Join this four day free intensive training hosted by Auburn Seminary and Women's March to get skilled up on how to talk to every day people online in an effort to defend our rights. We are hosting this multifaith track of the Digital Defenders training because we know that people are engaged in conversations every single day about how their fundamental beliefs and values fuel social change.

From the 2016 elections to more current events such as COVID, it’s no secret that social media has quickly become the new battleground for politics and a place where many voters are being exposed to both misinformation and political ideas for the first time.

White supremacists and neo-nazis are using social media to radicalize vulnerable people and spread their extremist ideas – and we need to fight back by seeding truth, justice, and equality in the digital world. That’s where you come in.

As a Digital Defender, you will engage on social media to defend and support progressive faith values and stop misinformation at the source before it goes viral. And the best part is, you can do all of this from the comfort of your couch.

The training will be highly interactive, and centered around the community built with other participants. It’s important that you attend all sessions, as best you can. There will be a recording if you have to skip a session, but we do ask that you contact us if this is the case so we can make sure to provide it to you.

What will be included in the training?

Understanding the digital landscape & the inner workings of the spread of misinformation
How to effectively counter misinformation and hate online
In depth trainings on the issues of: authoritarianism, policing and discrimination against religious minorities
