Break ups are usually a sad affair... but not this one. Super good to hear the National PTA cut ties with Meta. TikTok is also named in that same lawsuit. So, hopefully, the PTA will recognize that partnering with all members of the consumer tech industry, whose addictive screens are dragging down our kids' academic success, hurts kids.
Yes, the TikTok partnership is horrible and needs to end too. I'm hopeful it will. And maybe now that National PTA ditched Meta, other conflicted nonprofits *COUGH GIRL SCOUTS* will do the same. Thanks as always for your tireless work calling these conflicts of interest out! It's exhausting but we're making progress!
You are doing great work, Christina. Keep going. I have accepted the possibility that things may never change for the whole, but I am determined to make change possible for some. You are making a difference!

Thank you! I agree. A fellow advocate used the phrase "pocket of sanity" and I love that - that's what I'm trying to create with my local group.
