NCSL Legislative Video Resource Center

The U.S. Census Bureau works all decade long to produce good data—and provides ways for counties, cities and other local jurisdictions that aren’t satisfied with their numbers to appeal or even ask for a new count. While these options won’t change redistricting data, they will matter when it comes to federal, and often state, funding. Learn how you can help ensure your jurisdiction’s data is as accurate as possible even at this point in the cycle.

In the lead-up to a heated midterm election, MDM—or mis-, dis- and malinformation—is a pervasive threat, with sources both foreign and domestic. MDM can mislead, confuse, anger or discourage voters, and it can also make elections harder to run. Join this webinar to find out more about the consequences of MDM internationally and at home and learn what legislators can do about it as both community leaders and lawmakers. Moderator: Mandy Zoch, project manager, NCSL’s Elections and Redistricting Program. Speaker: Matt Masterson, director of information integrity, Microsoft and Rachel Chernasky, Digital Threat Analyst, Microsoft.

During this webinar, participants will hear an overview from NCSL’s Jennifer Palmer around challenges facing child care and families and how states are addressing these concerns. Following that, Bridget Dazey, of Clackamas Workforce Partnership, will share how collaboration between business, child care, afterschool, policymakers and others are supporting their child and school-aged care system. NCSL will also facilitate state sharing amongst attendees throughout the virtual meeting. This webinar is part of NCSL’s Education Friday series.
