Scrolling 2 Death

How Parents can Advocate for Change (with Andrea Brambila)


Listen Later

I checked my Instagram messages last week and saw that the incredible Andrea Brambila had reached out. She asked very simply, "How do I get involved in advocacy?" 


I'm not an expert, but have learned a lot in the past 12 months through attending Congressional hearings, lobbying in D.C. and advocating on a local level at my school district and school board meetings. 


Andrea led the conversation by asking questions that many parents may have about how to get more involved in protecting kids online.


This is an extremely important conversation because the fact is, parents' voices are what is going to change the tide. When parents say we've had enough with our children being harmed by Big Tech, that is when we'll see change. 



If you have specific questions that we didn't answer, please reach out!
