Dear fellow MoveOn member,

In the past 24 hours, eight of the top ten most popular posts on Facebook
were created by far-right extremists—including Donald Trump, Ben Shapiro,
and Franklin Graham.^1

Every single day, these far-right figures are spreading radical right-wing
conspiracy theories to tens of millions of Americans and are poisoning our
news feeds with dangerous misinformation that is eroding our democracy.

Which is why Inequality Media—the progressive nonprofit I founded that
counters the right wing's lies with clear, factual, and engaging viral
videos and other content—has never been more important.

Inequality Media is one of the only progressive groups with a large enough
following to match the biggest right-wing propagandists. Just look at our
numbers: Our videos and posts are shared seven times more than Sean
Hannity's, our Facebook page receives 15 times more engagement per post
than Ben Shapiro, and our videos have been viewed more than 440 million
times.

With anti-maskers spreading conspiracy theories as the pandemic rages on
and with much of the GOP trying to undermine the election results and
steal the presidency, combating the spread of misinformation has never
been more critical—but we need your help.

Inequality Media right now to help us produce cutting-edge viral videos
and other content to counter the right and get the truth out to the
public?

John, as we leave the Trump administration in the trash heap of
history and head into a Joe Biden presidency, we all know that the far
right will ramp up their efforts to misinform the public and smear popular
progressive reforms.

Just look at what the far right is doing right now. Despite the fact that
the election results are crystal clear, right-wing extremists in Congress
just rejected a resolution recognizing Joe Biden as president-elect.^2

But they won't stop there. Over the next weeks, months, and years,
right-wing extremists will fight with everything they have to tank our
progressive agenda.

The far-right fearmongers will call demanding health care and housing
during a public health and economic crisis "socialism."

They'll wage an all-out war against canceling student debt.

They'll spread vicious lies to try to stop us from treating immigrants
with dignity and respect.

They'll spend tens of millions of dollars in deceptive attack ads to try
to vilify our efforts to address police violence and protect our
environment.

They'll peddle lies that taxing the rich will stifle innovation.

They'll say that stopping catastrophic climate change will bankrupt the
economy.

Which means we need to fight back harder than ever. I have big plans to
produce viral videos and other content to expose the far right's lies and
to educate the public about wealth inequality, racial injustice, health
care reform, and more—but I'm going to need your help to bring my
ambitious plans to life.

[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $3 to help create the hard-hitting viral
content the progressive movement needs to counter the far right and
advance our agenda? 100% of your donation is tax-deductible and will go to
this critical mission.

Thanks for all you do.
