Subje ct: A Ye ar of Mome ntum for Kids and Fami l i e s
Dear CRAIG,
As we close out 2025, I wanted to pause and share what this year has made possible
for children and families bec ause of partners like you.
This year, MAMA helped shift the national conversation about technology and c hildhood
while delivering real, measurable wins. Together, we supported the passage of 18 bills
into law, engaged on nearly 400 pieces of legislation nationwide, and fueled the
rapid expansion of the phone-free schools movement, with 18 states and W ashington,
D.C. now having full bell-to-bell bans. W e also grew to more than 40+ gr assr oots
chapters across 22 states, with hundreds of parents stepping into leadership roles in
their communities.
Our newly released 2025 Impac t Report, linked below, captures this momentum. It
highlights landmark artific ial intelligence (AI) and social media safeguards, bell-to-bell
phone free sc hool victories, and a growing cultural shift that puts children’s well-being
and education ahead of tec h industry profits.
See MAMA's 2025 Impact
These wins reflec t something bigger than policy change. They signal a movement that is
shifting culture, shaping public understanding, organizing parents, and building the
pressure needed for lasting reform. W ith a growing waitlist of communities ready to launc h
MAMA Chapters, the demand for this work has never been clearer.
And, we need your help to get us there. Please consider a year-end gift today .
As we look toward 2026, we are excited to deepen existing partnerships and welcome new
c ollaborators who share our commitment to protecting childhood. If y ou or others in y our
network are interested in staying engaged, supporting this work, or exploring way s to
c ollaborate, we would love to connect.
Thank you for being part of this urgent and growing movement. Your support helps ensure
that real-life experienc es, authentic human connection, basic safety, and joy remain at the
heart of a healthy c hildhood. To see more of our movement’s remarkable ac hievements
— and to meet the inc redible MAMA Chapter Leaders who power this work — c heck out
this inspiring video.
W ith gratitude,
J ulie Sc elfo
Founder and Exec utive Direc tor

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-01-08/newsom-proposes-education-power-grab-for-next-california-governor
Newsom's proposal would give the next governor more authority over school policies and probably diminish the role of the state superintendent of
public instruction.
