Good information nourishes democracy; bad information poisons it. The mission of the Shorenstein Center is to support and protect the information ecosystem. This means promoting access to reliable information through our work with journalists, policymakers, civil society, and scholars, while also slowing the spread of bad information, from hate speech to “fake news” to all kinds of distortion and media manipulation. The public square has always had to contend with liars, propagandists, dividers, and demagogues. But the tools for creating toxic information are more powerful and widely available than ever before, and the effects more dangerous. How our generation responds to threats we did not foresee, fueled by technologies we have not contained, is the central challenge of our age. How do journalists cover the impact of misinformation without spreading it further? How do technology companies,

    EMBARGOED UNTIL 12 AM on 12/22/2016 December 22, 2016 Contact: Tess Seger [email protected] 310-801-0448 Alejandra Campoverdi Launches Campaign for California’s 34th Congressional District LOS ANGELES, CA – Today, Alejandra Campoverdi, former White House aide and community advocate, announced her campaign for Congress in California’s 34th District. See the video here: A native Angeleno, born to a single mother who immigrated from Mexico, Alejandra has always held her roots and her family’s journey close to her heart. She’s lived a career dedicated to public service and to the advancement of vulnerable and marginalized communities, be it in philanthropy, politics or media. Both in Los Angeles and in Washington D.C., Alejandra has gained firsthand experience working on the issues that impact our families the most: unemployment, income inequality, immigration, access to quality education and health care. Alejandra’s passion for service came from her upbringing struggling with many of the barriers our families face today. “I’m taking on this challenge because your family is like my family and our families need a champion. We need someone in Washington who will speak loudly and fearlessly for the ones who need it most.” Throughout her career, Alejandra has been a voice for the voiceless. From the California Endowment to the White House, she has served as a bridge between the on the ground perspectives of her community and the larger American consciousness. Her grit, courage, strong work ethic, and unflappable commitment to public service have pushed her to fight for equality and opportunity at every turn, and, now, she wants to put those skills to work for the 34th District.

The father is depicted as an alien, alluding to the way in which inhumane immigration policy dehumanizes people. Using words like “illegal” and “alien”, all words used by the Department of Homeland Security, criminalizes migrants and sets the stage for anti-migrant hate. About the Artist: Favianna Rodriguez is a celebrated printmaker and digital artist based in Oakland, California. Using high-contrast colors and vivid figures, her composites reflect literal and imaginative migration, global community, and interdependence. Whether her subjects are immigrant day laborers in the U.S., mothers of disappeared women in Juarez, Mexico, or her own abstract self portraits, Rodriguez brings new audiences into the art world by refocusing the cultural lens. Through her work we witness the changing U.S. metropolis and a new diaspora in the arts. Printed on responsibly harvested, agency-certified paper containing 50% post- consumer recycle content.
