Saint Paul, MN

Our Mission

We are a growing group of District 196 parents and community members concerned about the unchecked expansion of screen-based technology into daily life. We are working to restore real-world connection, reclaim our collective attention, and champion intentional technology use to build stronger communities and drive lasting change for the next generation. We are not anti-technology. We believe tech can be a powerful tool when used with intention and purpose. We also believe that childhood needs to be protected in an increasingly digital world. While technology continues to advance faster than society can adapt, collective action remains our greatest tool for change.
