Fact-Checking Day is an annual celebration and rallying cry for more facts in public health, journalism as in everyday life and it is meant to be lighthearted, but practical.

Fact-Checking Day is promoted by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) in partnership with fact-checking organizations around the world. IFCN believes that fact-checking shouldn’t be something only professional fact-checkers do. An accurate information ecosystem requires everyone to do their part. In 2020 the IFCN brought together fact-checkers from across the world to form the #CoronaVirusFacts Alliance. We created a searchable database of COVID-19 fact-checks with over 3,000 submissions so far. Make sure to follow @factchecknet, and #FactcheckingDay on Twitter to take part in the global conversation on April 2.
