Why misinformation is a problem
- false beliefs ➡️ increase fear, mistrust
- expose ppl to harm
- worsen existing biases/disparities
- ppl make ineffective or harmful policies based on bad info 🙃
Kids specifically more vulnerable to misinformation 😔

2) Use inclusive language
- It’s not them, it’s us: focus on collective orientation rather than labeling (shoutout @DrOmolara!)

Humanizing stories: provide emotional appeal, counter-narrative for neg stereotypes (shoutout @juliemlinton)
