Don't be fooled by "Democratic" accounts

Review new guidance about reposting new accounts that look like they're on our side, but may be run by scammers or data harvesters.

Linktree required on Meta platforms!

Meta accounts must add the new Linktree to their profile following a recent Meta update that made links within posts a paid feature. Other platforms are welcome to add the Linktree as well.

Media training on hold

As shared earlier this year, media training is paused until after the midterms. Countries needing a spokesperson for midterms media requests should contact a neighboring country for assistance. Training will resume at the end of November. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!
