#VotaSinBulos: on the day of reflection our Hoaxes Emergency Team takes to the streets

We know that during the day of reflection many hoaxes circulate trying to influence your vote. That’s why the Maldita.es team organizes a Hoaxes Emergency Team dedicated to verify live during the whole day the hoaxes and lies of the campaign. Next Saturday, November 9th, we will also take it to the streets. We will be from 12:00 to 19:00 in the Matadero of Madrid, in the Workshop.

Come to contrast what seems strange to you, visit our expositions of hoaxes and lies, put a face to the team and see how we work on such a delicate day, verifying live everything that comes to us.

We have also organized fact-checking workshops so you can learn how to protect yourself from lies. You can come and learn how to verify at 13:00h, 14:00h, 16:00h and 17:00h.

Disinformation affects us all, so do not hesitate to come with children, with family, with friends… Notify your contacts and bring them: at 6:00 p.m. we reflect together on the hoaxes and lies that have circulated during the campaign.

All our communications also remain open that day so that you can continue reporting the hoaxes and lies you receive: it is a day of battle against hoaxes. If someone tells you a lie, answer them and send them the denial. Don’t shut up if you see a hoax.

We need you, because together it is much more difficult to be fooled.
