   • NALEO Educational Fund launched the Defiende La Verdad (Defend the Truth) campaign in 2022 after engaging in efforts to counter the spread of Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation (MDM) during the 2020 Census, the 2020 elections and the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign seeks to build awareness about the effects of MDM on Latino civic engagement and build capacity among community leaders and community groups to counter the spread of MDM narratives.
   • NALEO Educational Fund is actively recruiting volunteers to take part in social media monitoring sessions to identify MDM narratives regarding electoral participation. Social media monitoring has been a key part of the Defiende La Verdad campaign given that social media companies still face a gap in their ability to monitor online content in languages other than English. Social media monitoring is done virtually in 75-minute shifts, which includes training. Shifts are posted here: https://www.mobilize.us/naleo/.
   • NALEO Educational Fund operates a fully bilingual information and assistance hotline, 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA (1-888-839-8682), which the organization leverages for election protection assistance in the lead-up to and during elections. Voters can call the hotline with any questions regarding electoral participation, to report problems encountered while attempting to vote and to resolve issues encountered while attempting to vote. These cases are elevated to local elections authorities and/or voting rights lawyers through the Election Protection Coalition organized by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law. The organization expands the hours of operations and call capacity during elections and recruits volunteers to support the expansion. Volunteer shifts are posted here: https://www.mobilize.us/naleo/. The ability to communicate in Spanish is a requirement to volunteer on the hotline.
