The Impacts of Online Hate

Change the Terms Coalition

Wednesday, March 27, 2019 - 12:00am

We know that White supremacists use platforms like Facebook and Twitter to silence the speech of vulnerable communities and people fighting for justice. But what do those harms really look like — and how are those lives changed?

Join the Change the Terms coalition for an hour-long conversation on the impacts of far-right hate online. Free Press’ Jessica J. González will moderate the discussion, which will feature research fellow Ana Hernández, Brandi Collins-Dexter from Color Of Change, Jess Campbell from the Rural Organizing Project and Madihha Ahussain from Muslim Advocates.

This discussion will explore the ways that online hate undermines the health and humanity of progressive activists, people of color, religious minorities, women and LGBTQIA people, and how the Change the Terms coalition is pushing to hold tech companies responsible.
