The source text explicitly states in the infobox that Protect Democracy's formation date was 'November 2016', which matches the claimed date of 2016-11 (November 2016). The additional context provided also aligns with this, noting the organization was 'Formed November 2016; incorporated and launched publicly in early 2017'. The claim uses ISO date format (2016-11) while the source uses month-year format (November 2016), but these are equivalent representations of the same time period.

Note: The source explicitly states that Protect Democracy was formed in November 2016, not 2017. The Wikipedia infobox clearly lists 'Formation November 2016' and the text confirms 'In 2016, Protect Democracy was co-founded.' The claim states the founded date is 2017 with additional context of 'early 2017,' but the source directly contradicts this by placing the formation in November 2016.
