Disinfo + lawfare = blocked NGO financial transactions, which can cripple essential humanitarian services. Our #RightsCon workshop revealed the scale of this problem and just how difficult it is to address. We need stronger proactive strategies to protect NGOs from these kinds of attacks.

Excited to be at #RightsCon this week in Taiwan! Speaking to NGO financial access challenges that stem from disinformation attacks and lawfare attacks against civil society. Would love to connect with anyone attending, DMs are open.

Debated whether to even engage on this, bc this is exactly why the courts exist—checks and balances—ever heard of it, JD? He has. What’s really happening here is that the administration is continuing to deploy this rhetoric to set the stage for further illegal power grabs. Not to be minimized.
