Under Attack — Verify Fast and Respond When Your Campaign Is Targeted

When your campaign is attacked with a fake, the first hour decides how much damage it does. This free, self-paced course teaches advocacy leaders one skill: verify fast, decide whether to respond, and publish a credible response before the lie sets.

It is built for directors, founders and campaign leads at NGOs and advocacy groups — the people who have to make the call, often without a comms or security specialist on hand. Practical and decision-focused, with real 2026 cases, exact tool workflows, decision trees and copy-paste response templates. No theory, no filler.

You will learn to confirm in about 15 minutes whether an image, video, voice clip, quote or document is fabricated and gather proof; choose “respond” or “starve it” with a clear decision tree; and write a fast correction that limits spread instead of feeding it — plus the prevention groundwork that makes it all faster.

You walk away with a kit: a one-page Rapid-Response Playbook, a reusable 15-minute Verification Checklist, a Respond-or-Starve decision tree, response templates, and an evidence-documentation template for platform and EU takedowns.

The honesty line runs through every lesson: you fight the lie with the truth. AI helps you work faster — it must never invent facts, quotes or “evidence”.
