Hi everyone, Next week Wednesday (October 2) at 9:30am ET, we will launch a new research report examining the levels of offensive speech and hate speech targeting women of color Congressional candidates on Twitter/X. We also include analysis of tweets targeting Vice President Kamala Harris. The research was done as part of a collaboration between the Online Violence Against Women in Politics Working Group at the Ford Institute for Human Security, University of Pittsburgh and the Center for Democracy & Technology. Please join us online for the presentation and discussion, and feel free to share this with your networks. https://cdt.org/event/report-launch-offensive-speech-and-hate-speech-targete...
