We were disgusted when we saw this news yesterday:

This is a U.S. Marine who swore an oath to defend our country, and instead spat on our very constitution. But the truth is, he is far from the only one.

An unfortunate number of the rioters at the Capitol on January 6th were currently serving in the military or veterans. An Air Force veteran was shot and killed at the Capitol after having been sucked in by these conspiracy theories.

That’s because far right extremists are using social media to recruit servicemembers and veterans to their ranks. They’ve filled Facebook and Twitter feeds with conspiracy theories and insurrectionist nonsense for years -- and the effects are undeniable.

So VoteVets is fighting back:

We are running an aggressive program to combat disinformation among veterans. This is an incredibly important issue, especially in a community where people have taken oaths to defend our constitution. Make a donation to support our work here if you can:

Combating right-wing disinformation in our community is a BIG challenge, but VoteVets is ready to take it on. In fact, we recently launched a program allowing us to have one on one conversations with veterans through Facebook messenger.

We are confronting disinformation on its most fertile ground: Social media.

This is important, so support our work with a contribution if you can.

Thank you,
