#VotaSinBulos: on the day of reflection, our Anti-Hoax Emergency Team takes to the streets

We know that during the day of reflection many hoaxes circulate trying to influence your vote. That is why the Maldita.es team sets up an Anti-Hoax Emergency Team dedicated to fact-checking, live throughout the day, the hoaxes and false claims from the campaign. Next Saturday, November 9, we are also taking it to the streets. We will be at Matadero Madrid, in the Workshop space, from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

#VotaSinBulos: on the day of reflection, our Anti-Hoax Emergency Team takes to the streets

Come fact-check anything that seems suspicious, visit our exhibitions of hoaxes and lies, meet the team, and see how we work on such a crucial day, verifying in real time everything we receive.

We have also organized fact-checking workshops so you can learn how to protect yourself from false information. You can join us to learn how to verify at 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Disinformation affects us all, so don’t hesitate to come with children, family or friends. Let your contacts know and bring them along: at 6:00 p.m. we will reflect together on the hoaxes and lies that have circulated during the campaign.

All our communication channels will also remain open that day so you can continue reporting the hoaxes and false claims you receive: it’s a day of battle against disinformation. If someone sends you a lie, reply and send them the fact-check. Do not stay silent if you see a hoax.

We need you, because together it is much harder for them to fool us.
