With less than 3 weeks to go until the 2020 Election, concerns about the role media and tech platforms play in politics are at an all-time high. In the last week alone we saw a militia group organize on Facebook to kidnap the governor of Michigan, President Trump tweeting that COVID is no worse than the flu, and mainstream media sources amplifying Trump’s message every time he lies about COVID-19 or election integrity. We need your help to continue fighting disinformation wherever it is found, demanding that Facebook stop aiding white-supremacist groups and right-wing militias, keeping pressure high on mainstream media to cover the election responsibly, and more. Donate now and a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift to support our work to combat disinformation, online hate, and suppression of our voices and our votes in Election 2020! We all deserve — and need — access to truthful information. Our health, safety and democracy rely on it. Yet too many, from foreign actors to our own president, are all too happy to spout disinformation when it suits their needs, relying on the media to amplify their lies. And many more, from Facebook to Fox News, are all too happy to continue profiting from lies and hate. Our fight for access to truthful information and responsible media practices will not end on Election Day. It is critical that we have the resources we need to respond to every challenge that appears in the almost surely contentious, and potentially dangerous, weeks that follow November 3. With you at our side, we can continue rising to the challenges that 2020 has thrown our way. Please donate now to have 3X the impact on our right to truthful information and responsible election coverage and against the forces of hate and disinformation. Thank you for fighting alongside Free Press. It’s supporters like you that make our movement strong. In solidarity, Craig Aaron Free Press Action Co-CEO freepress.net P.S. Less than 3 weeks are left until Election Day — but no one knows how many weeks are left until a winner will be declared. Please donate now while your gift will be TRIPLED to support Free Press’s critical fight against disinformation, white supremacy and voter suppression in the lead up to the election — and beyond. |
