Help is on the Way for Kids’ Screen Addictions!
Meta (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) was slapped with a bombshell lawsuit last week by 40+ states, alleging that it has fueled a youth mental health crisis by exploiting the addictive nature of social media platforms. This presents us with a great Window of Opportunity to urge school leaders to create and enforce strong cell phone policies. Yes, NC is included in this lawsuit! See details here.
Need immediate help for tech-addicted kids? Check out the many resources at ScreenStrong, a NC-based non-profit.

Is the U.S. House of Representatives (HR) Bill 3557 a Trick?
Not on Us! Help us Kill this Scary Bill !
HR 3557 is the worst of at least 19 bad bills in the U.S. House that will strip all local authority for erecting cell towers and 5Gantennas too close to where we live, learn and work, including your front yard. Despite its very patriotic name, the American Broadband Act of 2023 will NOT uphold American values of local authority and freedom of a healthy environment. Now in the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, it could come to the floor any time for a vote. Talking points from Americans for Responsible Technology can be found here. You can track the bill here. What to learn more? Join the National Call for Safe Technology’s
