League Podcasts Aim to Dispel Misinformation


DEMOCRACY TRUTH: A Podcast Journey with the League of Women Voters of Arizona

    Launched by the League of Women Voters of Arizona (LWVAZ) with support from a grant from the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS), the Democracy Truth initiative aims to dispel mis- and disinformation about Arizona's election processes.  The project uses podcasts to provides accurate information about the election system to a broader and more diverse audience.  

This endeavor has been both a learning and collaborative experience.   Led by Janet Kerby and Cindy Walsh, the project began with a call for volunteers within the League community.  Jan Felton,  Suzanne Miller, April Lewis, and Gitelle Seer signed up.   They welcome volunteers from all local leagues to join them in this important (and fun) project.
