It's time to #PassKOSA.
On January 31, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was forced to apologize to members of ParentsSOS during the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing where five Big Tech CEOs testified on the failure of their platforms to protect children online.
On February 8, more than 250 survivor parents who have lost children to online harms issued a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, urging Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring KOSA to a vote.
In June, we ran a Father’s Day ad in New York with a heartfelt plea from Todd and Mia Minor to Sen. Schumer to bring KOSA to a floor vote in the Senate.
In July 2024, the U.S. Senate passed the Kids Online Safety & Privacy Act in a landslide 91-3 vote, marking the first time in more than 25 years that the U.S. government has taken action to rein in Big Tech’s predatory business practices that target children.
There’s still work to do.

Media Blitz
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing gave us an opportunity to put our stories — and our kids — front and center. Social media companies can no longer shirk their responsibility towards young users.
KOSA is our best chance for long-term guardrails that will save lives.
