PEN America On 
We support all those who are heading out this weekend to exercise the right to demonstrate and the right to protest. Be on the lookout for fake information and learn how to verify protest info you see online. https://bit.ly/3cxuqmw
Disinformation around these protests is NEXT LEVEL. So, we @PENamerica put a short tip sheet together for protesters & the public. Three ways to verify images, videos, sources, & news sites so you don't get duped by misleading info. There's a lot of it. https://pen.org/pen-americas-guide-for-combating-protest-disinformation/
