What happens in a local group? Parent coffees and device-free events. Families in the same grade waiting on phones together. Sharing what's working at home, and speaking up together at school. Every group is run by local parents who know their schools and their neighbors.

“You were a rock star today. Thank you so much for coming and having such great conversations with our community members. TLO is an awesome initiative and all in attendance felt very reinforced and informed with what you shared.”
start one. we'll help
You don't need a big following, a background in policy, or a free evening every week. Most groups start with a handful of parents who are tired of feeling alone with this. We help you keep going with a coalition of community leads who care about this movement almost as much as they care about each other.
- Talk with us.
Tell us about your community, and we'll help you find a good first step.
- Gather a few parents.
Three to ten is plenty. Our Getting Started playbook includes a letter you can send.
- Pick an easy first step.
For example, a parent coffee or a device-free event.
you don't have to know everything. you just have to care
