SUMMARY:Swing Blue Alliance- Frontline Update
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly 30-minute Frontline Update \n\n\n\n\nSign up for Link\n\n\n\n\nAt the next Frontline Update\, help root out the bad actors! Swing Blue Alliance is shining a light on Scam PACs flooding inboxes and phones with misleading fundraising appeals. \n\n\n\nThese deceptive solicitations mislead donors\, distort the grassroots landscape\, and often spend most of the money they raise on fundraising expenses rather than on real electoral work. But there are ways we can fight back and protect our movement. \n\n\n\nWays to Be a Scambuster: \n\n\n\n\nReport misleading solicitations to Act Blue. Act Blue has recently adopted new policies to help prevent fundraising spam and scam operations from using their platform. You can report questionable fundraising appeals to Act Blue using this How-to-Doc.\n\n\n\nForward your spam text screenshots to the phone number 7726. That lets your phone service provider know that the text you are sending was spam.\n\n\n\nVolunteer to do research on Scam PACs. There’s a lot of data about most PACs on websites of the FEC and OpenSecrets.org. Volunteers identify Scam PACs and document their misdeeds. To get started\, email info@swingbluealliance.org \n\n\n\n\nJoin us to break down the Scam PAC crisis\, share what our researchers are uncovering\, and show you how to help clean up the donation ecosystem while making sure you are donating as effectively as you can. \n\n\n\nStay afterward for Q&A and discussions.
