John, I have a question for you:
Have you ever seen something on social media and wasn’t sure whether it was real? Far too often on our favorite social media sites like Facebook and Twitter — there’s disinformation everywhere on all of our feeds, causing confusion over what is fact or fiction.
The disinformation crisis in our country has reached a critical level. From the January 6th insurrection that was incited by a false narrative about a stolen election, to the struggles we face getting our communities vaccinated — there are real and dangerous consequences from disinformation. Especially since the rise of Trump, far-right and extremist groups have been exploiting social media networks to disperse disinformation that raises money for the far-right while eroding our democracy.
Often, we hear from Women’s Marchers who’ve experienced disinformation themselves or have loved ones who’ve been swayed by the disinformation they’ve read online. That’s why today we’re inviting you to take our Social Media Survey so we can collect data and feedback to combat the disinformation crisis and effectively help folks access the knowledge they need to make safe, informed decisions.

Just recently, Republicans like Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor Greene have taken their COVID misinformation agenda to the next level on social media. From posting tweets condemning mask mandates, to making videos declaring war on the CDC — they are perpetuating the disinformation crisis online and hurting our country’s ability to survive this pandemic.
Women’s March is currently assessing and combating the disinformation crisis through our Digital Defenders program. We at Women’s March know that so many women are the primary caregivers for so many families and the key to vaccinating our communities.
That's why Women's March is focused on reaching women online, listening to their concerns about the vaccine, and combating disinformation by sharing the truth about the vaccines' benefits and safety.
But to do this work, we first want to understand what Women’s Marchers like you are seeing on your social media feeds and understand any experiences you’ve had firsthand with disinformation. So please, if you have five spare minutes today, please take our Social Media Survey, John, and share your story.
Together,
Noor
Lead for Digital Defenders
