John, Georgia voters are facing disinformation and suppression online — and here’s how you can help.

Our team has documented[1] how social media platforms have failed to learn the lessons of 2020 – and aren’t even enforcing their own policies against harmful election disinformation. But the election isn’t over for everyone, and with early voting already underway for next week’s U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia, bad actors are already taking advantage.

Here’s how you can help: Social Media Monitors comb online spaces for harmful misinformation and voter suppression that automated tools can’t reach, reporting the posts and countering them with reliable information from trusted sources.

Social media monitoring is a great opportunity to help Georgia voters from home, on your schedule, and in ways that make a real difference.

Interested? Here’s how you can get involved:

Get trained to be a Social Media Monitor with our easy one-hour training session. We have live trainings every Thursday at 9pm Eastern Time, as well as self-guided training you can take on your schedule. By the end, you’ll be fully trained and connected with our network of fellow volunteers to cheer you along.
And if you’re available, join our Georgia Pre-Runoff Huddle this Thursday at 6pm Eastern Time. In this bonus discussion, we’ll lay out our plan for fighting online voter suppression and supporting voters during these runoffs, and talk with experts about the specific challenges Georgia voters are facing online.

And even if you can’t join as a volunteer, you still have tools to fight misinformation when you see it online:

If you see problematic disinformation about how to vote or our elections, report it to our public tipline at ReportDisinfo.org
If you need positive, pro-democracy content, you can find ready-to-share graphics at CommonCause.org/ElectionTruths

I hope you will join us this week in stopping cyber suppression!

Thanks for everything you do,

Raelyn Roberson, Field Coordinator of Stopping Cyber Suppression
and the team at Common Cause
