This is bad news, team:
Ahead of a critical midterm election cycle this fall, NBC News is reporting on the rapid proliferation of Spanish-language conspiracy theories and disinformation on social media platforms like Facebook and messaging apps like WhatsApp.
It’s a deeply concerning trend that’s intensifying as we approach another election cycle — and its impact on voting patterns among Spanish speakers could have massive ramifications if we don’t act.
That’s why United We Dream Action is becoming a leader in the disinformation defense ecosystem — and we need your support to keep fueling our work.
Not only will racialized, anti-immigrant disinformation erode trust in elections and make it even more difficult for pro-immigrant candidates to win over voters, but it’s also an existential threat to the lives of immigrants across the country.
Disinformation defense is one of UWDA’s most critical priorities in 2022. Chip in $10 to fuel our work and help stop the spread of racialized disinformation that targets immigrants.

Since our inception, United We Dream Action has emerged as a leader in fighting back against lies, propaganda, and disinformation.
During the implementation of DACA, we provided resources for immigrant youth who applied, to ensure they weren’t scammed by notaries, or others who sought to take advantage of the roll-out of a new relief program.
Along with our deportation defense team, we’ve created guides like the “Know Your Rights” and “Know Your Power” resources to empower immigrants in their interactions with enforcement agencies including ICE, CBP, and law enforcement, who use deceptive tactics to take advantage of and target our community for detention and deportation.
Disinformation defense is in the DNA of our work to protect and uplift immigrant communities. Will you donate any amount today to help us keep rooting out disinformation wherever we find it?
