John,

Widespread claims of “false flags” have now become common occurrences soon after mass shootings. We saw it leap from the fringe of social media after Buffalo, Uvalde, and then Highland Park to the social media of prominent politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The George Washington Initiative was founded to combat dis- and misinformation (DisMis) like this before it has a chance to promote more violence. Please consider chipping in $10 to the George Washington Initiative to support us in building a robust and effective strategy to eliminate DisMis.

“False flag” claims attempt to frame a mass shooting as an organized attempt by Democrats to advance gun control legislation. There is, however, no evidence to support this claim. This disinformation instead ends up hurting the grieving families of victims and deepening distrust.

As the nation’s only information civil defense force, we aim to tackle DisMis ecosystems at their roots. Will you join us in our mission? Chip in $10 or more today to help us continue the work we set out to do.

Thank you for your support,

George Washington Initiative
