A SMALL SHARE CAN HAVE BIG CONSEQUENCES
The things we share online can spread like wildfire and a small share can have big consequences. Watch the short film above, join us in our mission to tackle misinformation and encourage your followers across your social channels to take care before they share.
Verified is an initiative of the United Nations, in collaboration with Purpose, to cut through the noise to deliver life-saving information on COVID-19 and stories from the best of humanity.
Our Mission
As the world confronts its biggest challenge in living memory, there has never been a greater need for accurate, verified information. Like the virus itself, misinformation spreads from person-to-person, heightening the risk to health and spreading fear and division. The world cannot contain the disease and its impacts without access to trusted, accurate information that promotes science and real solutions – and builds solidarity within and between nations.ledge to Pause
