What we found

Context. The organization's own About page claims digital activists across 97% of U.S. counties, and its Substack post claims members representing 98% of U.S. counties; these are self-published and do not confirm the claimed 95% figure.[4][5]

Context. The 'on the ground' figure differs from the claimed one: the About page cites over 700,000 on-the-ground activists and 5 million digital activists, not a county-coverage share of 95%.[4]

Context. Independent reference material (Wikipedia citing Georgetown's Bridge Initiative) reports membership and chapter counts from 2011 and 2015 but gives no county-coverage figure.[6]

Context. The PolitiFact profile and other fact-checker index pages provided do not include a rating or analysis of the county-coverage claim.[1][2][3]
