Join Our Movement

Calling Berkeley families! Together, we can reset the norm. Take the community pledge to delay smartphones until at least high school, and share your personal invite link with other parents. As more families join, we build a stronger community—one in which our kids won't feel alone. But we also realize that every family's circumstanes are different. Even if you decide not to take the pledge or you've already given your child a phone, you are absolutely welcome here. Visit us at: www.berkeleyunplugged.org

Petition for Safe and Intentional Technology Use in BUSD Schools

BUSD students deserve learning environments that support focus, deep thinking, and well-being—not constant digital distraction. Yet Big Tech has become deeply embedded in our schools without clear standards, oversight, or accountability. As parents and educators united around student well-being, we urge BUSD to take a deliberate, evidence-based approach and examine every decision about how technology is used in our schools to ensure that it truly serves our students. Visit us at www.berkeleyunplugged.org.
