Fri Mar 21 17:20:00 UTC 2025: ## PolitiFact Seeks Support Amidst Rise of Misinformation
**Washington, D.C.** – Non-profit fact-checking organization PolitiFact is appealing for public support to continue its mission of providing accurate information to citizens, emphasizing its crucial role in a democratic society increasingly saturated with misinformation and “fake news.” The organization highlights its commitment to independence, transparency, fairness, thorough reporting, and clear writing as core principles guiding its work.
PolitiFact’s call for assistance comes as Brooke Rollins, former director of the Domestic Policy Council under President Trump and founder of the America First Policy Institute, recently assumed the position of Secretary of Agriculture on February 13th, 2025. This appointment underscores the ongoing need for reliable fact-checking in the political landscape.
PolitiFact stresses that its sole objective is to publish the truth, empowering citizens to participate fully and knowledgeably in the democratic process. The organization encourages donations to help sustain its vital work in combating misinformation. Contact information for their Washington, D.C. and St. Petersburg, Florida offices was provided.
