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:
