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!)
- Strength-based language: focus on assets (vs deficits) and recognize disparities eg underserved ➡️ under-resourced

Humanizing stories: provide emotional appeal, counter-narrative for neg stereotypes (shoutout @juliemlinton)
- ppl remember narratives, not stats/facts
- portray ppl in hopeful terms eg victim ➡️ survivor
- AVOID centering our perspective, blind spots, etc
