Block the Big Lie before it starts

The media’s rush to air Trump’s premature victory claim in 2020 fueled the January 6th insurrection. We cannot let this happen again. [Democracy for America Advocacy Fund](#) Dear {NAME}, Trump and MAGA extremists are preparing to go on air tonight before midnight to declare victory despite votes still being counted across the country. Media networks, driven by ratings and pressure, may choose to broadcast these false claims. The echo of the Big Lie is ready to ignite again, spreading misinformation faster than the truth can catch up. In 2020, we saw the consequences of premature and false victory claims--widespread doubt in the electoral process, eroded trust, and an unprecedented attack on the U.S. Capitol. This chain reaction fractured our nation and emboldened threats to democracy. We must demand that media networks hold the line this time. No unverified election night victory claims no rushed narratives that ignore the count. This is a matter of safeguarding our democracy. Networks have the responsibility to report verified results, not to amplify political theater that misleads millions. [Send a message to national news networks now: Only air confirmed election results. Our democracy depends on it.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( When unedited and unverified victory speeches are aired, it isn’t just a broadcast. It becomes a weapon, used to create division and sow distrust. That’s why the media must exercise editorial responsibility in these critical moments. Trump and his allies are gearing up for a repeat of their 2020 playbook, aiming to capitalize on prime-time slots before the real count is complete. We need to be proactive by reminding media leaders that their obligation is to the public and the democratic process. [Demand that major networks commit now: No election night speeches without confirmation of the results. Tell them to stand firm against the noise, uphold journalistic integrity, and report the truth.]( Together, we can prevent another damaging cycle of lies and conspiracies from taking root. - DFA AF Team [Power This Campaign]( Democracy for America Advocacy Fund is a 501c4 organization.
