What is Reset Tech Action?
Reset Tech Action is a 501(c)4 organization with the long-term goal to support a “reset” of the relationship between media and democracy in the digital age to ensure that publics are more informed and less divided. Reset Tech Action seeks to neutralize the threats posed to democracy by digital media monopolies and restore the power of information technology as a force for effective self-government and progressive society.
Why do we think this project is important?
Democracy Fund Voice supports Reset Tech Action’s work to: reduce threats to democracy created by large digital media companies that undermine security, safety, and trust in American elections; and to reduce the damage that conspiracy, hate speech and disinformation in digital media inflicts on American democracy.
How is Democracy Fund Voice supporting Reset Tech Action?
In 2023, Democracy Fund Voice approved a two-year grant of $500,000 to Reset Tech Action.
