John,
We know by now how damaging dis- and misinformation (DisMis) have been for science. Over the past two years, we have seen doubts over the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic, hesitancy over the effectiveness of masks, and diminished trust in vaccines travel from the fringe of social media to the halls of Congress.
Confidence in science amongst Republicans is 30 points lower than in 1975, according to a recent poll. However, the issue of DisMis concerns all of us. Without the commitment to tackle misinformation, we will continue to see its impacts reverberate throughout our communities.
At the George Washington Initiative, we understand these dangerous repercussions. This is why we need your support. Will you join us in the fight against misinformation by donating $5 right now?
