SIGN NOW: DEMAND THE DNC AND RNC DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY AGAINST DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS
The Democratic and Republican National Committees
In 2016, Russian agents waged disinformation campaigns with the aim of influencing our electoral process―stoking political polarization and sowing distrust in democracy. And more recently, in 2018, domestic actors increasingly utilized similar techniques as a bare-knuckled political tactic.
Fraudulent news and disinformation in the 2018 midterm election cycle tended to have one of three objectives:
Attacking individual candidates;
Dampening turnout or stoking distrust in the voting process;
Amplifying a desired narrative about a particular political event.
With the 2020 elections quickly approaching, we must act immediately to defend our democracy.
Sign the petition to the DNC and RNC demanding that both parties discourage and prevent disinformation tactics which constitute a threat to our democracy and a truth-based civic discourse.

During elections, individual candidates, political parties, and party committees have a critical role in protecting the integrity of our civic discourse and the public’s ability to make informed decisions about who will represent them.
We call on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) to create party-wide frameworks to discourage and prevent disinformation tactics, insist that our parties’ candidates make similar commitments, and denounce fraudulent news―including when it is directed at a political opponent or promoting a political cause that your party or your candidates support.
