Digital Defenders
Alt-right trolls are radicalizing America’s youth online. They’re spreading hate and ignorance through comments on social media. Their hateful posts are not simply “one-off” remarks (though even then, they would not be acceptable) to be ignored.
We know that social media can be a source of good, a medium of positive political discourse, and a means of uniting people over shared values that will bring us closer to progress. But we can’t do it alone. That’s where you come in.
Digital Defenders will teach everything you need to know about online advocacy so that you can fight for progressive values without getting out of your pajamas. Join our community of 1,500+ Digital Defenders to debunk falsehoods and myths online.
