Countering Truth Decay is a community-led conversation about the impacts of misinformation on local issues, & what we can do about it. The Human Relations Council of Santa Monica is addressing the urgent issue of the declining role of fact-based information in American life - in an election year, and on the 23rd anniversary of 9/11. This event will take place at Santa Monica College and provide a channel for creative, thoughtful engagement on a pressing national issue.
This year the 10th cohort of Wellbeing Microgrant Leaders will lead a 1 hour break out session highlighting how misinformation impacts HRC advocacy areas: Equity, Voting, Human Trafficking, Hate Crimes, & Immigration.
Addressing the root causes of hate crimes, Camellia Lee and Ezekiel Goodwin will lead an Embodied Ancestral Listening: a trauma-informed, open dialogue towards understanding and combating misinformation. Participants will be guided through the tools and exercises they can use to co-regulate the nervous system in the face of ancestral trauma and current trauma and violence.
