ICYMI: DCCC Launches Historic Digital Information Hub for Spanish Language Voters to Counter Disinformation

DCCC’s latest online initiative, Juntos Together, provides voters with digital arsenal to counter GOP disinformation

Last week, the DCCC launched Juntos Together, a first of its kind digital information hub offering Spanish-speaking voters dozens of new digital assets to highlight Democratic achievements online and combat dangerous right-wing disinformation.

While extremist right-wing media – and even House Republicans –  continue to push dangerous disinformation to voters, the DCCC is working to ensure more Americans have the necessary tools to counter the GOP’s attempts to mislead voters across social media platforms well before they head to the ballot box next November.

Take a look at some of the coverage already highlighting the DCCC’s latest initiative below:

NBC News: Democrats create bilingual tool to combat disinformation aimed at Latinos

  • Democrats are trying to push back on disinformation aimed at Latinos, including some they say is spread by Republicans.

  • The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, responsible for getting Democrats elected and re-elected to the U.S. House, has launched what it calls a digital information hub, “Juntos Together,” to target disinformation aimed at Hispanics, particularly in Spanish.

  • The hub carries colorful infographics and GIFs in English and Spanish that can be downloaded, shared and embedded on social media platforms as something of a “rapid response” to disinformation.

  • The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the fundraising arm for House Democrats, announced the launch of “Juntos Together” on Thursday.

  • DCCC Executive Director Tim Persico said in a statement that the hub will give voters “never-before-seen access to digital resources, and prioritize Spanish-speaking voters by offering critical tools to help them counter disinformation directed at their communities, and promote Democratic accomplishments.”

  • The DCCC said hub will be directly on its website and will be regularly updated. It further said that nearly 50 of its organizing directors across the country will highlight Juntos Together in key districts that are critical to keeping the Democrat’s house majority.

 

Roll Call: At the Races

  • Juntos Together: The DCCC is launching a new effort, dubbed Juntos Together, a digital hub of Spanish and English language materials aimed at combating “dangerous right-wing disinformation,” the group said in a news release today. “Latino voters are integral to the Democratic Party’s coalition, and that means that Democrats need to engage early and often with our community,” Victoria McGroary, executive director of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ BOLD PAC, said in the release.

  • In an attempt to push back against COVID-19 vaccine disinformation aimed at Latinos, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has launched a digital information hub called “Juntos Together,” intended to target the disinformation.

  • Many of the graphics directly address vaccinations and include numbers to text to find local places offering shots. Others advocate for President Joe Biden’s agenda and some of the Democratic legislation approved in Congress.

  • The impact of disinformation on social media among Latino voters in the 2020 presidential election was undeniable, especially for Latinos in Florida.

  • “Republicans are spreading disinformation at every turn. It’s dangerous for our communities and downright dangerous for our democracy. Democrats are committed to clearing the way,” DCCC wrote on Twitter.
