In light of the rapid spread of disinformation and misinformation during election years, we are committed to providing educators and practitioners with resources that not only address these issues but also advocate for the right to vote and promote freedom of information. This toolkit is designed to equip individuals with accurate, fact-based tools to navigate the complexities of electoral misinformation while empowering civic participation. The curated resources aim to foster critical thinking, media literacy, and advocacy for voting rights, ensuring that individuals can make informed decisions during election periods. While these resources are a starting point, we encourage further exploration and engagement through our Professional Development and Training Team’s selections, many of which are available through the HRE USA K-12 Lesson Library, as well as external links to our community partners and human rights educators.
This toolkit was developed as a part of a virtual roundtable on Mis/Disinformation during an Election Year held on September 14, 2024. The roundtable brought together youth and experts to analyze and address the pressing issues of misinformation and voting rights. This session was recorded and the video can be accessed here.
