Our Mission

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.
