Good Trouble
Red, Wine, and Blue is having a Virtual Social Bank to help stop ICE disinformation:
Wednesday, January 14, 7:30-8:30 pm Eastern. https://secure.ngpvan.com/elD13dIEkEGGiwIqYlP84w2
“Extremist trolls, media figures, and the Trump administration are spreading disinformation about the murder of Renee Nicole Good at lightning speed, but we can fight back! A Social Bank is a collective digital action - hundreds of people coming together online to like, comment, share, and amplify key posts around a critical issue. It is also a way to take advantage of this critical juncture to invite in disillusioned Trump supporters”.
“Join Red Wine & Blue and our friends from the 3.5% Campaign for a Moms for Good Social Bank as we help boost the right messaging and stories online in this important moment”.
*This one will be amplifying Instagram posts, so an Instagram account is required.
