SUGGESTED CAPTION:

#45Lies is a national action campaign to UNnormalize the president’s dangerous and persistent assault on the truth before the national election. Disinformation is a key to fascism, and we, the makers and children of hip hop culture, just ain’t having it. I’ve posted this 45-second video in response to this SPECIFIC lie: “XXXXXXXXX”

We know better, so we SAY as such in defense of an honest public record. In the spirit of democracy and inclusion, I invite “X" and “X” to also participate in this campaign.

Find a lie that targets our community. Make a 45-second video that responds to that lie. Use “Impeach the President” as a sonic backdrop. Post your video, and invite more people to do the same. Find more info at @45lies2020. Democracy is ours to keep.
