Hi John!
I'm Allison. If we haven't met before, I work with our Digital Defenders program. Digital Defenders is the largest formation of trained activists fighting disinformation in the country.
I’m reaching out because our COVID Vaccine Survey is about to close and we haven’t heard from you yet. My team is working hard to draw up a plan that will push back on the massive disinformation campaign fueled by Republican politicians and pundits.
Stories like yours are invaluable to coming up with an effective strategy to share the facts and encourage more people to get vaccinated. So I’m personally asking, John: will you take our COVID Vaccine Survey now? Our team is getting ready to pull all of the survey data and form our critical outreach plan — but we want to hear from a supporter in Washington first.
We currently face a massive disinformation crisis. In my work, I look at disinformation every single day and figure out the best way to push back. Republicans like Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor Greene have taken their COVID misinformation agenda to the next level. From bashing mask mandates, to sharing lies about the effectiveness of COVID vaccines — they are perpetuating the disinformation crisis online and hurting our country’s ability to survive this pandemic.
Getting as many people as possible in our country vaccinated — and equipping them with the knowledge and information they need to feel confident in doing so — is one of the biggest hurdles facing our nation, especially now with the rise in Omicron cases. That's why we need your help, John.
We want to collect stories from Women’s Marchers about why they chose to get vaccinated and the challenges you may have faced getting your family and friends vaccinated as well. If you have had success persuading others to get vaccinated, you might be able to help another Women’s Marcher convince a loved one too.
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 experiencing and hear your COVID stories. So please, if you have five spare minutes today, please take our COVID Vaccine Survey, John, and share your story.
Together,
Allison
Disinformation Strategist
