I Pledge My Earnest Efforts To:
Share Truth
~Verify: fact-check information to confirm it is true before accepting and sharing it
~Balance: share the whole truth, even if some aspects do not support my opinion
~Cite: share my sources so that others can verify my information
~Clarify: distinguish between my opinion and the facts
Honor Truth
~Acknowledge: acknowledge when others share true information, even when we disagree otherwise
~Reevaluate: reevaluate if my information is challenged, retract it if I cannot verify it
~Defend: defend others when they come under attack for sharing true information, even when we disagree otherwise
~Align: align my opinions and my actions with true information
Encourage Truth
~Fix: ask people to retract information that reliable sources have disproved even if they are my allies
~Educate: compassionately inform those around me to stop using unreliable sources even if these sources support my opinion
~Defer: recognize the opinions of experts as more likely to be accurate when the facts are disputed
~Celebrate: celebrate those who retract incorrect statements and update their beliefs toward the truth

Thanks for posting this part. I've been doing my best to do this stuff for years anyway, so I figured I might as well sign.
Well thanks for signing @ElizabethI & welcome to PTP ! We have a Facebook group called "Intentional Insights Insiders" . There , you'll meet others who have also signed the pledge & post about fact checking , fake news , critical thinking , & how to speak to those who do not listen to the facts , using the psychological & social sciences . It's very educational & a worthwhile effort .
Enjoy being online again!
