Welcome to Somali Families USA
Your trusted platform for verified information, community resources, and protection against disinformation. We connect Somali Americans to the support they need.
Why This Platform Matters
In an era of widespread misinformation, Somali Americans need a trusted source for accurate information and community support.
False narratives about Somali Americans spread rapidly online, leading to real-world harm including harassment, discrimination, and policy changes that hurt our families.
Understanding your rights, accessing accurate information, and staying connected to verified resources protects you and your family from exploitation and discrimination.
When we stay informed and connected, we build collective power. Together, we can counter false narratives, support each other, and advocate for our community's needs.
Know Your Rights as an American
Whether you're a citizen, permanent resident, or visa holder, understanding your legal rights protects you and your family. Here are key rights every Somali American should know.
Fighting Disinformation Together
Our community faces coordinated disinformation campaigns designed to spread fear, division, and false narratives. Our Truth Hub exposes these tactics, provides accurate information, and helps you recognize manipulation when you see it.
Recent example: We've documented how YouTuber Nick Shirley used selective editing, visual manipulation, and gotcha-style interviews to spread false claims about Somali daycare owners—leading to frozen funding and federal investigations based on unverified allegations.
