Help us by sharing the message.
Regardless of what you believe or where you fall on the political spectrum, we’ve all seen disagreements pull apart our communities, friendships, and families. But as the divide grows between us, so does the threat to our democracy, our values, and our nation’s security. We’ve seen how the spread of misinformation, mal-information and disinformation on social media can make it worse. Help us take on misinformation and polarization by sharing our message.

Meet Linda. She’s a mother of three, a grandmother of six, and a community volunteer and activist. Linda loves to share and like content from family and friends on Facebook, and often posts stories or updates from Facebook community groups. But those messages sometimes include #disinformation or false stories planted to create polarization. Linda, and grandmothers like her, can play a big role in helping to #DisarmDisinformation. Here’s how:
Meet Miguel. He’s a first generation American with a large family in the U.S. and Mexico. He doesn’t know it, but he’s being targeted with #disinformation. His Facebook feed is filled Spanish-language posts full of false information. But here’s the thing: the account is actually run by Russian-state media. It’s one method adversaries like Putin uses to distract and divide Americans.
Miguel can play a critical role in the fight to #DisarmDisinformation. Here’s how:
Meet Daniel. He’s a veteran. He thinks he’s reading posts from a fellow vet. But really, they’re from Russian trolls with fake social media identities trying to trick vets like Daniel into spreading #disinformation meant to divide Americans. It’s a dangerous threat to our #democracy.
Veterans like Daniel can be our best weapon in the fight to #DisarmDisinfomation. Here’s how:
Meet Camila. She’s a retired teacher who loves keeping up with her sisters, cousins, kids, and grandkids on WhatsApp in the family’s group chat. Unfortunately, that’s also where she is being targeted with #misinformation, unknowingly shared by family members. Because they use an app with encrypted messages, it is hard to flag false or misleading content.
Fortunately, there are some simple ways Camila can help #DisarmDisinformation. Here’s how:
Meet Katie. She is a stay-at-home mom of two girls, ages 3 and 5. Katie loves to use social media to share photos and videos of her daughters, connect with other moms, and keep up with what is going on in her community.
Katie doesn’t realize the influencers she and other moms follow are spreading false information about COVID-19 and vaccine safety. Moms like Katie are important in the fight to #DisarmDisinformation. Here’s how:
Meet Madison. She’s a sophomore in college and an aspiring TikTok influencer with 60,000 followers.
Madison thinks she is watching – and sharing – important videos about the war in Ukraine. She doesn’t know the videos are actually false stories Putin is paying Russian influencers to post.
TikTokers like Madison can help #DisarmDisinformation. Here’s how:
Meet Lila. She’s a veteran. Right now, she’s being targeted with #disinformation. Lila doesn’t know it, but her “likes” and “shares” are being used by foreign enemies who want to disrupt our democracy by creating division and distrust among Americans. Lila isn’t alone. Nine out of 10 veterans say they are worried about being targeted by disinformation.
Together, veterans can #DisarmDisinformation. Here’s how:
Independientemente de lo que creas o de qué lado político estes, todos hemos visto los desacuerdos que separan a nuestras comunidades, amigos y familia. Así como crece la división entre nosotros, también crece la amenaza a nuestra democracia, nuestros valores y la seguridad de nuestra nación. Hemos visto cómo la difusión de la mala información, el contenido manipulador y la desinformación en las redes sociales puede empeorar las cosas. Ayúdanos a combatir la mala información y la polarización compartiendo nuestro mensaje.
