Virginia Advocacy Day
Independence And Play
Ed Tech
Hosted by The Balance Project's Central Virginia community.
Join parents, teachers and community members from across Virginia for a morning at the General Assembly. We'll meet with our own senators and delegates in small groups to share what we're seeing with screens in our kids' classrooms, what the research says, and what's already working in districts like Henrico.
We'll also ask legislators to support legislation that helps Virginia schools use technology intentionally, including a statewide model policy for classroom screen use.
This is a nonpartisan, volunteer-led day. We meet with legislators from both parties, and TBP does not endorse or oppose any candidate or party. No experience needed. We'll pair you with a group and send talking points ahead of time.
Participants cover their own travel, parking and meals; TBP does not pay or reimburse expenses for this event. School employees are welcome to join in their personal capacity, on their own time, and not as representatives of their school division.

Turning Life On | Sudbury for Digital Balance
Your Attention Please: Film Screening and Community Conversation
Join us for a free screening of the film "Your Attention Please: Reclaiming Humanity in the Digital Age", followed by a community discussion led by a panel of local experts.
A new generation of parents, teens, and reformers are fighting back against Big Tech’s agenda to define the future of human connection. From Kristin, a mother pursuing legislative reform after losing her son, to Trisha, a young programmer building technology to stop cyberbullying, the film reveals how deeply the attention economy is shaping childhood, mental health, and human connection.
As lawmakers debate social media reform, Gen Z launches a global Offline Club movement, and a high school dares to go phone-free. What emerges is not a doomsday story, but a hopeful one: proof that the attention crisis is not inevitable and that a cultural shift is already underway.
Blending intimate human stories with insights from leading experts in tech reform and digital wellbeing, Your Attention Please asks some of the most urgent questions of our time: Can we reclaim our autonomy? Can technology be redesigned to serve humanity? And what does a healthier relationship with the digital world look like for us and our kids?
