Through this content, they also recruit supporters to participate, whether it is through sharing misinformation or engaging in voter intimidation. Conspiracies about insecure elections, coupled with the harshly felt inequities in this country, manufacture a culture of electoral distrust and civil unrest.

With the emergence of online threats to democracy, we began to empower our members to become online citizen watchdogs. Our Social Media Monitoring program offers a hopeful alternative to the growing fear, distrust, and outrage surrounding our elections. Last year, the accessibility and flexibility of this direct action attracted 2,300 volunteers from across the country. Our program promises that all a person needs to make a difference online is a device with an internet connection, a list of words to copy and paste into the social media search bar, and basic tech support from staff and fellow monitors. While this program had an impact on the national stage, it also has had an impact on the monitors themselves!<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you think of who took to social media to fight the wave of online election lies, retirees armed with their laptops and social media instruction guides are probably not who you imagined. In fact, our ranks included a little bit of everyone: retirees and workers, people with and without disabilities, teachers and students, journalists and their readers. Led by me, a 22-year-old civil rights activist from Houston, TX. In 2021 I noticed how the waves of COVID-19 vaccine disinformation seemed to be customized to target marginalized communities. For Black communities in particular, they exploited our history of justified skepticism of public health entities and the government to target us with lies about the vaccines. With many of my own relatives falling victim to vaccine disinformation, I began studying and tracking the tactics of online disinformers so that I could better protect my community from lies meant to cause us harm. When I joined Common Cause to lead this program, I found myself in the company of other fed-up individuals who wanted to make a difference. Most notably, the veteran monitors from the Civic Listening Corps.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Civic Listening Corps (CLC)\u00a0 is a year-round volunteer monitoring effort led by John Schmidt, the Engagement Coordinator of the Algorithmic Transparency Institute (ATI). The staff and monitors of the CLC are crucial allies to our monitoring program. Routinely monitoring with us on joint shifts, sharing tips gathered from years of monitoring, compiling lists of disinformers, and sharing with us Junkipedia- their civic listening software. The monitors and staff at the CLC are instrumental to our success in combatting and tracking online election lies in addition to many other topics. In fact, many of their monitors started here at Common Cause monitoring during the election seasons eventually following John to the Civic Listening Corps to continue monitoring a wider range of topics!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of us point to the 2016 election as the beginning of a culture of constant anxiety and distrust in both elections and our fellow Americans. Volunteer Monitor Kathy shared that election denialism \u201chas created a wedge in our family that makes it very difficult to talk about what really matters to the family and the country\u201d\u00a0 Instead of hopelessly watching as election lies spread to their community members, Monitors could \u201cbe part of something that could make a real difference in the rhetoric that is tossed about on social media!\u201d according to volunteer Jill. Jill is not alone, many of our monitors shared similar reasons for getting involved. We are all connected by a deep concern for the current state of our democracy. I interviewed our volunteer leaders to learn more about what led them to join us in monitoring online election disinformation.<\/span>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"<h2>Reflections from our Social media Monitoring Captains<\/h2><h3>Who they are and why they chose to step up as volunteer leaders to fight back against online election lies.<\/h3>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"<b>Adrienne<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adrienne is semi-retired, based in California, and has been \u201ccommitted to the truth for quite some time.\u201d Since 2020, Adrienne has led the fight against online disinformation. She recalls scenes from her earlier years of environmental\/ political research and activism. She describes her first formal protest, a march for women's reproductive rights during the 1973 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roe contra Wade <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">case. \u201cWe wore black armbands to school and marched through the park\u201d. She adds while shaking her head \u201cthere were kids and adults catcalling us.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked why she got involved in Common Cause\u2019s Social Media Monitoring program, Adrienne pointed to 2015. She knew she had to once again get involved to fight the wave of blatant lies and lack of accountability for their impact. Today as a retiree, she is waist-deep in the fight against online disinformation. Adrienne warns that \u201cPeople who are sewing distrust through the media know exactly what they are doing because they want to control the narrative, it\u2019s frightening.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Rob<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Rob, a retired software engineer and former journalism student based in North Carolina, Social Media Monitoring was the next step in getting politically involved, outside of the usual \u201ctext banking\u201d activism they have done in the past.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked why this opportunity appealed to him, he cited the critical thinking involved in the monitoring process. \u201cIt took discernment to separate fact from fiction and satire from deception.\u201d For Rob, this is a welcome alternative to \u201cbeing a button pusher sending texts without discretion or analysis.\u201d With a little encouragement, Rob decided to step up as a Volunteer Leader. If a monitor struggled with the technical aspect of monitoring, all they had to do was tag Rob in our volunteer Slack channels, and he was there to help! Rob spent his shifts sorting through the submissions sent in by the monitors and refining our searches. Rob explains that he has seen firsthand how disinformers \u201cdistort reality by blowing problems out of proportion or by creating problems that are entirely fictional.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tom\u00e1s<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas, based in Washington State, has been monitoring since the monitoring program launched in 2020. Thomas was an Inoculation Captain who spent his shifts leading monitors in sharing pro-democracy content. He got involved because \u201cotherwise I would just be doomscrolling!\u201d Thomas and the other monitors often joked that they might as well report the content and doomscroll for a cause (as it were).\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas, who is a wheelchair user and hard of hearing, revealed: \u201cthere are not many volunteer opportunities for someone who is hard of hearing.\u201d Phone banking, canvassing, and volunteer events without interpreters and COVID-19 precautions are often inaccessible to people with disabilities, who would otherwise be willing to volunteer. In Thomas\u2019 case, accessibility features like closed captioning and virtual meetings offered Thomas a way to get involved. Thomas warns that election disinfo \u201cis corrosive and makes it almost impossible to have an informed populace which is needed for democracy\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Susan<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Susan, a professor based in California, was our main shift captain, independently leading over 30 shifts over the span of 4 months. Susan credits her family, for her lifelong streak of activism and leadership. She recalls picketing a hotel where Nixon was staying in her early years! She has phone banked, text banked, and canvassed door to door. \u201cFor this round, I thought \u2018I've done enough of that\u2019 I want to do something less taxing and more meaningful!\u201d When she stumbled upon our monitoring program, she found a community of what she described as \u201clike-minded boomers, young people needing volunteer hours, and everything in between\u201d All of them were concerned about what was happening on social media.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Susan explained that when doing this work she thinks about her son and the future that the younger generation deserves. \u201cMy generation was taught that the world was always going to get better and better.\u201d This of course is not the reality we find ourselves in. With inequality on the rise and continuous environmental crises, many of the older monitors often expressed disbelief and even remorse at the state of the world and the uncertainty this creates for the future of younger generations. \u201cI feel desperate to try and put everything back on track!\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With our monitoring program dormant until the next election season, many monitors including Adrienne, Rob, Susan, and Thomas are continuing to fight online lies with the Civic Listening Corps!
