In this episode Susan sits down with Nick Knudsen, Executive Director of DemCast USA, to explore the world of grassroots digital activism and how everyday people can take action in the fight against misinformation. Nick shares the inspiring story behind DemCast, a national network of citizen journalists, writers, and digital organizers dedicated to amplifying progressive voices and combating the spread of disinformation in our political landscape.
Nick explains how DemCast works, its mission to elevate fact-based reporting, and how anyone—whether you’re a seasoned activist or completely new to digital organizing—can get involved and become a part of this crucial movement. From writing articles to sharing verified information on social media, there are many ways to contribute and help build a more informed and engaged electorate.
We also dive into the impact of disinformation on our democracy, focusing specifically on how Donald Trump and other political figures have continuously spread falsehoods. Nick discusses how Trump's relentless sharing of misinformation, particularly around elections and voting, has influenced public perception and swayed voters. We explore the dangerous effects of these tactics on democratic processes and how platforms like DemCast are fighting back by empowering people with the tools to set the record straight.
