TruthOverFox Protests

We dodged a bullet on Nov. 8th and are lucky that Fox “News” does not appear to be actively fanning any flames about election fraud by Democrats. But if Fox continues to be hellbent on keeping a large share of voters completely detached from reality, every election will require massive Democratic mobilization or democracy will be lost. On November 15, local activists (you may see some of your neighbors!) are gathering at a TruthOverFox protest being organized by the Defenders of Democracy Against Disinformation to publicly call out the Fox lies that are helping to make our country ungovernable. Join us for a 4-5 pm protest of Fox lies at the corner of Elm St. and Wisconsin (7200 block) in downtown Bethesda, right across the street from a new local broadcast office. (Although the local station is not the same as the Fox cable channel, both are part of the Fox Corporation.) Signs will be available. Prior Bethesda protests have gotten a great reception from drivers, pedestrians, and office workers! Protests in NYC and Austin TX will also be held on Nov. 15. (Email to get more information on those.) Can’t make the 15th? Join us on Nov. 29, same time and place.
