The Action Kit wouldn't be possible w/out the efforts of our Screens in Schools work group at the Children's Screen Time Action Network– we're so grateful for the hard work of these activists and their dedication to making advocacy easier for parents and educators everywhere! 3/3

The Action Kit is full of templates, fact sheets, and petitions used by real activists across the US in their own advocacy. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or new to the screens in schools problem, this resource will help you advocate more effectively and efficiently! 2/

Kids deserve an education shaped by teachers, not edtech companies – that’s why our friends @commercialfree released the Screens in Schools Action Kit, a guide to organizing against edtech by parents and educators, for parents and educators. Learn more at https://t.co/UaIlL3MUoE
