More Opportunities to Take Back 1/6
With a Jan. 6th Call to Action, Marking the Anniversary, Fighting the Lies, (Defenders of Democracy Against Disinformation – DDAD) is beginning a big push to inform TV subscribers of their Fox-News-Free options both because of the impact on Fox News directly and the importance of sending a signal to other existing and potential TV providers that a market exists for Fox-News-Free TV packages. Register and more info here.
(Defenders of Democracy Against Disinformation – DDAD) has two anti-Fox campaigns, Change The Channel and Fox-News-Free TV. The latter campaign is particularly relevant to VA because each of four of the TV options that allow subscribers to avoid subsidizing Fox News are available in all or part of the state. This is very rare! The opportunity to fight Fox News lies through a direct action that has financial impact is something we want every pro-democracy activist to know about!
