Our Mission
[Add your mission here] or use ours: Local TLO communities bring together parents, educators, and professionals to support one another in navigating the challenges of raising kids in a digital world. Our goal is to share up-to-date research, practical tips, and real-life experiences to help families make informed, healthy choices about technology use. By joining TLO, you’ll stay connected to the latest information and have opportunities to meet regularly with other parents. These meetings offer a space to share concerns, celebrate successes, and—if you want—ask for advice. We also aim to involve local experts—educators, psychologists, doctors, and even law enforcement—so they can offer insights and address issues that matter most to our community. TLO chapters are designed to reflect the needs of each unique town or school. When parents come together, their collective voice is stronger and more effective than going it alone. That’s why your involvement matters. Together, we can create a safer, healthier digital environment for our kids.

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.
We are a collective of communities and organizations catalyzing local change through collective action. Discover and join communities working together to protect childhood in the digital age. Taking collective action has never been easier.
