You're not the only parent who feels this way. Thousands of families and dozens of groups across Massachusetts are working together to keep tech in check, at home and at school.

You don't have to be the only one saying no. Families who wait together make it easier for everyone.
“There's so much screen time at school.”
You have more say than you think, from what you consent to, to what your school allows.
“I just want them to have real friends and real fun.”
Device-free events and gatherings for the whole family.

already leading a group?
Maybe you're crushing it in your district. Maybe you're frustrated with how things are going. Maybe it's a little bit of both. Either way, join our support network of parents doing the hard work in their Massachusetts communities. Share wins, and get suggestions when you hit a wall. We lift each other up. That's our biggest flex.
Our coalition includes independent groups and chapters of national organizations, like Wait Until 8th, Schools Beyond Screens and The Balance Project. Either way, you'll be connected with people in Massachusetts and be part of a collective action network that gets results.
you won't be doing this alone
Parents in more than two dozen Massachusetts communities are already doing this work, sharing ideas, hosting events, and changing what's normal for their kids.
We connect new groups with existing groups. Those connections inspire and energize us every. single. day.
“What will my kids remember about their childhood? They will remember the family game nights and laughter during car rides, not TV shows and video games.”
