Community Members

Counseling
1

Get informed by regularly reviewing and watching videos, tools, and resources designed to help. Cultivate a habit of engaging and not looking away when hateful and antidemocratic content is shared.

2

Use your many roles– as a mentor, coach, employer, coworker, neighbor, relative or friend– to speak up, stand up, and promote inclusive, democratic cultures that reduce the fertile ground in which hate and propaganda thrive.

3

Engage in difficult conversations and make space for difficult dialogues. Try not to judge or shame others, which can drive them further into the open arms of bad actors online. 

4

Share these resources widely with your networks, host speakers, or organize reading and discussion groups to cultivate more knowledge and build relationships.

5

Remember that small actions every day can add up in ways that build social cohesion, trust, and a shared sense of belonging and purpose– which help create community resilience.
