The BLK+Cross + Georgia Tech Institute For People & Technology #WATCHTHEVOTEATL Ambassador Training and Campaign Toolkit

#WatchTheVoteATL is a community-academic partnership led by The BLK+Cross/Alive and in Color and Georgia Tech Institute for People & Technology, to track and disrupt election mis- and disinformation in Fulton County — OUR community.

Alive and in Color is proud to feature the #WatchTheVoteATL Toolkits and Virtual Trainings as part of our ongoing collaboration to disrupt disinformation and defend democracy. During the virtual training, ambassadors are equipped with essential skills, including identifying mis- and disinformation, understanding the role of AI in its spread, and learning how to track, report, and counter false narratives using tools like the Aggie system.

The Social Media and Campaign Toolkits are your go-to resource for amplifying the #WatchTheVoteATL mission. The toolkits include best practices for posting across platforms, platform-specific tips, branded social media templates, and ready-to-use posts and captions to make sharing impactful and easy. Together, these tools empower ambassadors and supporters to extend the campaign’s reach, spark critical conversations, and inspire action.

Explore these resources and download them at WatchTheVoteATL.org to join the movement for truth and democracy.

“The #WatchTheVoteATL project led by GA Tech and The BLK+Cross provided helpful information and feedback when County voters needed accurate elections data, content and resources were needed on online platforms where citizens get their information. Ensuring that accurate elections information is shared in a timely manner is critical.”

– Jessica Corbitt, Director of External Affairs at Fulton County Government +

Fran Phillips-Calhoun, CPM, Intergovernmental/Interagency Affairs Division Manager

The BLK+Cross + Mercy Care Ambassador Training Resources

In the Spring of 2023, The BLK+Cross partnered with Mercy Care, Georgia C.E.A.L., and ARCHI (Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Innovation) to create an 8 week Ambassador Training program and social media campaign to increase media literacy, help stop the spread of mis/disinformation around COVID-19 and other health-related topics, and drive vaccine confidence and uptake. The initiative included an inaugural Mercy Spring Health Festival, 6 weeks of social media campaign content creation, and an Ambassador Training Module on Storytelling for Healthy Change. By completing the training module, participants will learn how to recognize and respond to Mis/Disinformation in social media, as well as how to leverage culture in health literacy communications to have conversations, and develop campaigns that change our understanding, beliefs, behaviors, and ultimately, promote collective wellbeing. You may watch the video and training presentation below:
