The program for the September 11 meeting of the Chaffee County League of Women Voters (LWVCC) will focus on the topic of combatting disinformation in civil society. The presentation is set for 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. and will be preceded by a general business meeting from 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 noon; the meeting will be held at the Community Room at Sangre de Cristo Electric, Buena Vista, on U.S. 24.
The program will be presented by Truth Has a Voice Foundation/Ark Valley Voice Publisher and Managing Editor Jan Wondra and Ark Valley Voice Investigative Reporter Stephen Hall.
“In an era where questions are being raised about trust in our system of justice and our elections, it is more important than ever for people to have the tools to discern the accuracy, context, and factual basis for the information they are consuming on social media, and from news sources, about candidates and issues,” says Wondra.
The upcoming 2023 consolidated election is less than 70 days away, and the candidates for the 2024 presidential election are lining up. The LWVCC selected this program as preparation for the upcoming elections in the county.
“Frankly, to return to fact-based reality as a society, we need to be better critical thinkers. We need to base respectful disagreement on actual facts, rather than emotions,” added Wondra.
