It’s Online Fraud & Scams Week in The Arc San Francisco’s Digital Literacy Class!

In partnership with AT&T and The Arc of the United States, participants are building essential digital skills through AT&T’s accessible online learning modules.

The internet is a powerful tool, but not everything online is what it seems. From phishing emails to fake websites and scam messages, learning how to recognize red flags can help keep us all safer online.

How confident do you feel navigating the online world?

1️⃣ I already know how to protect myself online.
2️⃣ I’d like to learn more about staying safe online.

We’d love to hear from you!

We are excited to share the first edition of the Paul K. Longmore Center newsletter.

This new space will help us continue the conversations that begin at our events while highlighting disability culture, advocacy, leadership, storytelling, and community. Through event recaps, interviews, resources, and opportunities to get involved, we'll explore the ideas and people shaping the future of disability justice.

To launch the newsletter, we're looking back at Let's Flip the Script on Disability, the inaugural Lois Curtis Lecture. Whether you joined us in person, attended online, or are just discovering the conversation, we invite you to explore highlights from the event, meet our panelists, and listen to the discussion.
