Disinformation has become one of the defining challenges facing democracies, as threat actors seek to erode public trust, influence elections, and test whether open societies can defend themselves without compromising the freedoms they seek to protect. Europe has become a laboratory for this struggle, with countries across the continent confronting different forms of the threat. What does disinformation look like in different parts of Europe? As the continent prepares for another wave of elections, which approaches are proving most effective at combating disinformation? And what can Europe’s experiences reveal about strengthening democratic resilience on both sides of the Atlantic? On October 8, join @DrPMarkiewicz, Vanessa Audemard d'Alançon, and Ari Tabatabai for a discussion on disinformation and the future of democratic discourse. This program is held in partnership with @FranceinChicago and @PLinChicago. Register to attend today: bit.ly/4dm8Cwk

Ćwierć wieku temu miały miejsce wydarzenia, które zmieniły losy współczesnego świata. Nasza wspólna determinacja w walce z plagą terroryzmu pozostaje jednak niezmienna. Tego dnia z rąk terrorystów zginęły tysiące niewinnych ludzi wielu narodowości, wśród nich także Polacy. W kolejnych latach Polscy żołnierze stali ramię w ramię z naszymi amerykańskimi sojusznikami walcząc z terroryzmem. Jesteśmy solidarni ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi i oddajemy hołd tym, którzy zginęli 11 września, ratownikom oraz tym, którzy poświęcili życie, abyśmy byli bezpieczni. 🇵🇱🇺🇸

A quarter of a century ago, the world changed, but our united resolve against the scourge of terrorism remains strong. Innocent people from many nations, including Poles, suffered at the hands of terrorists. In the years that followed, Polish soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder with our American allies in the fight against terrorism. We stand together with the United States as we remember those who fell on 9/11, the first responders, and those who gave their lives to keep us safe. 🇵🇱🇺🇸
