John,

Here’s the truth: The digital warfare facing our nation is scary and more pressing than ever while we’re all stuck inside on our phones and facing an important election year. But yesterday, we brought together digital experts to explore the threat to our nation, and how we can fix it. There’s still time to catch up — watch the recap video now.

Experts agree: The dangers in our digital world are clear and present. Fake news and digital manipulation, powered by algorithms designed to exploit our humanity, are driving conspiracy theories, invading our privacy, and endangering our democratic processes. But the path forward is just as clear: The only way to win the digital war is with a government that represents the people, not Big Tech interests and lobbyists. 

And to get there, we need to create a massive, bipartisan movement to unrig the system and end corruption. Livestreams like this can be a great way to reach more people, and plug them into the movement. Watch the recap video, and share it with your friends and family on social media or over email to spread the word.

Our speakers said it best: What’s done quickly can be undone quickly. But the solution to the tech problem isn’t in computer code, it’s at the ballot box. It’s political will. It’s having a government that responds to the needs of Americans and takes action to protect our institutions from digital warfare. Until we end corruption, we won’t make progress on this or any issue you care about.

But here’s the good news: The movement to end political corruption is winning. This progress is only thanks to the thousands of volunteers and small-dollar donors that power this movement. And to keep winning, we’ll need your help. Share this video with five friends to bring more people into this movement, and boost anti-corruption campaigns across the country.

If we do nothing, then nothing changes. But when we come together, unite across divides, and work towards a common purpose, we are unstoppable. That’s why I echo the words speaker Shoshana Zuboff said in our livestream: “I have nothing but hope.”

We hope to see you at the next Unrig Roundtable (details coming soon!). Until then, stay safe.
