At a recent anti-corruption gathering in Washington, DC, Samantha Power, who heads the U.S. Agency for International Development, highlighted a powerful tool developed by ICFJ on a USAID-funded program.

Fighting Disinformation in the U.S. and Beyond

At ICFJ, we have long worked to help journalists fight the scourge of rampant disinformation in countries from Brazil to India to Nigeria. The prevalence of falsehoods during the recent U.S. midterm elections is the latest reminder why that work is just as vital in our own backyard.

We have responded to the need with programs to fight the tide of disinformation in U.S. Spanish-speaking audiences and to amplify trustworthy sources in coverage of everything from the New Mexico governor’s race to Tuesday’s Georgia Senate runoff.

We can’t do this important work without your support, and we invite you to consider making a contribution to ICFJ as we approach the end of the year.
