Finish Phone-free Schools NOW!

Massachusetts is closer than ever to phone-free schools, but the bill is stuck. The House and Senate agree on phone-free schools but disagree on how to regulate social media. The Legislature’s formal sessions ended July 31, and lawmakers are now meeting in informal sessions, where it’s harder to pass anything contested. The two-year session ends in early January 2027. Anything not finished by then has to start over. That’s why hearing from parents right now matters.

Call on Rep Lori Trahan to reject preemption

Massachusetts families: we urgently need your help. Reports indicate that Representative Lori Trahan may be negotiating federal AI legislation that could prevent states from creating and enforcing their own child safety protections online. This would make it harder for states like Massachusetts to respond to emerging harms involving AI, including addictive algorithms, deepfakes, exploitation, self-harm content, and manipulative chatbot interactions. Parents have seen what happens when technology moves faster than protections for children. States must retain the right to act. Please take 3 quick actions today: Call Rep. Trahan’s office and ask her to oppose federal preemption of state AI laws. Send a letter or email. Sign the petition. Children’s safety must come before tech industry pressure.
