WalkAway campaign

Uncommon card · No. 138931

The #WalkAway campaign is a social media campaign that was launched ahead of the United States 2018 mid-term elections with the stated purpose of encouraging voters to leave the Democratic Party. The campaign, which also organized events to support Donald Trump, was noted and criticized for its astroturfing methods and the claim that there was a popular movement of people leaving the party. In 2021, the group's founder, Brandon Straka, a hairstylist and aspiring actor living in New York City, participated in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. Following this, the group's Facebook page, which had more than half a million followers, was closed for violations of the site's terms of service.
