Voting Disinformation
We at Future Hindsight are pro-democracy nerds. In a year when two billion people all over the world are voting, we know that disinformation will continue to play a big role in these elections, including in the US. Here are some essential episodes that tell us about the outsized impact of disinformation on muddying the waters of the information ecosystem and creating a parallel reality. These thought-provoking conversations should be a part of your civic action toolkit this year. Critical thinking, objectivity, and media literacy are essential! Tune in!

📣 Spotlight
Daniel Alvarenga is a queer Salvadoran journalist based out of Washington, DC. He was born and raised in Southern California to refugee parents who fled the civil war in El Salvador. He covers issues pertaining to immigration, racial equity, and Latinx cultures – with a special emphasis on Central America and its diasporas. He previously worked for Al Jazeera and Telemundo and has written for Rolling Stone and the Washington Post.
2 million Salvadorans live in the U.S. – an equivalent to a third of El Salvador’s current population. Salvadorans are displaced in large numbers, so I think it’s important to connect the dots and see each other in our stories. And also to remind American listeners that Salvadorans are the 3rd largest Latinx group in the U.S., we’re in your cities and we’re connected to all this stuff, this HUMO stuff.
Learn more about the current political affairs in El Salvador and the impact on Salvadorans and journalists by reading our interview.
