Kristina Wilfore Lecture: Disinformation Trends and Tips for Countering
Kristina Wilfore is a seasoned international development and elections specialist who has worked in over 30 countries for more inclusive and responsive democratic movements. She has been on the ground in hotspots such as Ukraine, Kenya, Turkey, Brazil and Kosovo. She has worked hand-in-hand with hundreds of women on their campaigns for higher office and to help break systemic barriers to political participation, designing large-scale election integrity and counter disinformation programs in fragile environments. She advises governments, international agencies and civil society on how to create an enabling environment to address social media harms and national security threats presented by mis/disinformation. Kristina co-founded #ShePersisted, a cross-national initiative to tackle gendered disinformation and online gender-based violence, and serves as the Global Democracy Advisor at Reset.Tech testing and developing methodology for multi-layered counter disinformation programs in fragile democracies. Kristina is originally from Montana where she began her journey in changemaking when at the age of 14 she organized a letter to the editor campaign to support Planned Parenthood after an abortion clinic in the state was bombed by anti-choice extremists.
Missoula Dems Event: Connecting Rural Voices
MDP May Book Club Meeting: Jesus and John Wayne
Join us for the second meeting of the Montana Dems book club. Our own Hannah Nash will guide our discussion on Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Jesus and John Wayne is "a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism―or in the words of one modern chaplain, with 'a spiritual badass.'”
