⚠ Checks disagree: 1 confirmed, 1 contradicted

The Wikipedia source explicitly states in the infobox that Protect Democracy's formation date is 'November 2016', which matches the claimed date of 2016-11 (November 2016). The additional context provided in the claim ('Formed November 2016; incorporated and launched publicly in early 2017') is also consistent with the source, which distinguishes between formation (November 2016) and public launch (early 2017, as referenced in the first citation about 'Obama lawyers form' group in February 2017).

NoteThe source explicitly states in the infobox that Protect Democracy's formation date was 'November 2016', not 2017. The claim states the founded date is 2017 (with additional context saying 'early 2017'), but the Wikipedia source clearly contradicts this by listing the formation as November 2016. This is a direct factual contradiction regarding the founding date.
