Exploring Online Toxicity with Michalis Mamakos
What the Research Reveals
Special Note
In light of recent events, we find ourselves grappling with unprecedented challenges. Recent Supreme Court decisions have taken steps toward creating a political landscape that feels increasingly unbalanced. Additionally, we understand the deep concern and frustration many of you feel about the outcome of the recent debate. These developments can leave us feeling disheartened and even fearful for the future of our democracy.
It's essential to acknowledge these concerns head-on. At Outrage Overload, we are striving to navigate these turbulent waters with resilience and purpose. Our mission remains steadfast: to empower, inform, and support each other as we advocate for the democratic values we hold dear.
In times like these, our community's strength lies in our collective resolve. We must remain vigilant, continue to engage in constructive dialogue, and support institutions that uphold the principles of justice and democracy. Together, we can find ways to adapt, advocate, and strive for a future where our voices are heard and democratic principles are upheld.
Thank you for standing with us during these trying times. Your dedication and engagement are more crucial now than ever.
