Do we trust Big Tech to raise our children?

It’s 10pm, do you know who your child is talking with online?

 

The average teenager spends 7-11 hours a day online

  • Every hour online, their brains and bodies are exposed to algorithms that diminish their attention and ability to focus and think
  • Every minute online increases their risk for developing anxiety, depression and loneliness
  • Every second online their developing minds are deprived of everyday face-to-face interactions with peers, grown-ups and nature, stunting their emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual growth

“Time and time again, Big Tech has proven it cares more about its bottom
line than the harms kids face when using their products.” 

– Center for Humane Technology

We learned these dire facts from you.

Your work has increased our awareness of the magnitude of the challenges our children and society are facing.  We now feel compelled to join and support you to ignite the masses the way you have ignited us. 

We are a diverse global community who came together seven years ago because we realized that the vast challenges our world is facing requires collective efforts.  We knew that in sharing our resources and learning from and integrating each other’s work – as technologists, therapists, parents, artists, and social entrepreneurs – we will exponentially propel our individual and collective missions.

We believe there is no bigger issue than what you are currently working on.  Given our sense of urgency and outrage over the harm our children are exposed to, we wish to explore ways we can support all of you.  We trust that together we can exponentially amplify our collective impact by developing creative ways to achieve our vision. 

It’s time we heed the children together!

We emerged as vibrant and diverse as
any species on earth for a reason:

Each one of us adds to the complex
beauty of our collective garden.

Let us move out of our siloed spaces and into a
united heart-centered space, where together we will
discover how we can best realize our collective
intention to cherish our children and their future.
