From: Mothe rs A gai nst Me di a Addicti on <i nfo@wearemama.org> Se nt: Monday, De ce mbe r 22, 2025 1:37 PM To: CRA IG A DURFEY < 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.

W ith gratitude, J ulie Sc elfo Founder and Exec utive Direc tor Big Tech continues to put profits over children’s safety—but together, we’re fighting back.
