Editing Stopping the Disinformation Playbook (section)

===All of us===

* Share the Playbook with your social media networks, and when you see a new example of a company using a tactic from the playbook to sideline science, call it out! The more people are aware of these tactics, the harder it will be for companies to get away with them.

* Push back against regulatory “reform” legislation like the Regulatory Accountability Act, which would make science-based policymaking more burdensome for federal agencies by allowing industry lobbyists to question strong science being used by agencies and delay important safeguards. Start now by joining the fight against attacks on car fuel efficiency standards.

* Set the record straight. If you find someone spreading disinformation on a topic, counter it. If the disinformation appears in the media, correct it in a comment or letter to the editor. Check the credentials and affiliations of experts you come across in the media—and follow the money. The Center for Responsive Politics’ Opensecrets.org is a great resource to find lobbying and political contribution information for companies and PACs.

* Consider divesting your retirement funds and other investments and making conscious consumer choices to avoid supporting companies that advance disinformation campaigns.
