Families & Tech | familiesandtech.org

Empowering parents. Protecting kids. Holding Big Tech accountable.

A parent and child together at home.
Our Letter to the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee
We write as parents, pro-family leaders, survivors, and child advocates to implore you to act in a way that truly empowers parents to protect our children, and to resist the rather loud voices who say that immunity for Big Tech and evisceration of state efforts in this space is somehow pro-parent. It is not, and we write to clearly state as much, and to specifically ask for the forthcoming committee action to truly stand with, not against, parents.

This letter remains open for additional signatures. Names and affiliations will be updated as more leaders join.
