ACT — HOW YOU CAN HELP
TAKE ACTION
For two decades, Fairplay (formerly Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood) has been standing up to huge companies, making sure that kids’ needs come before corporations’ bottom lines. We collaborate with parents, teachers, and advocates throughout the country and our advocacy has resulted in changes at some of the world’s largest corporations, including Amazon, Google, and Mattel!
We can’t do this without you. Your voice is essential to our work – here’s how you can help right now.
Collaborate with us
We can’t do it alone. Our work is stronger when we work with partners to hold Big Tech accountable and support children and families. Together, we can help to boost the signal of our collective work, pass legislation, and build a future where kids can be kids!
We want to help children thrive in a world where they’re seen as our youngest, most important population, not as consumers or tech users. If you’re ready to shift the culture around kids and screens, join the dedicated community of advocates in the Screen Time Action Network!
Advocate with us
Fairplay is leading the movement to get the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) passed, with this bill having garnered overwhelming support from 84% of Republicans, 92% of Democrats, and 81% of Independents according to recent polling.
Design choices made by tech companies manipulate users to stay online as long as possible and expose children and teens to inappropriate and harmful content thanks to algorithmic amplification and poor oversight.
If passed, this bill will go far in creating a healthier media environment for kids.
Tell your senators: Co-sponsor Senate Bill 1409 or urge Senate leadership to bring KOSA to a floor vote in order to protect kids online.
Celebrate with us
Screen-Free Week is our celebration of the joys of life beyond ad-supported screens. Thousands of families, schools, and communities around the world will put down their entertainment screens for seven days of fun, connection, and discovery!
Even though it’s about turning off screens, Screen-Free Week isn’t about going without – it’s about what you can get! An hour once dedicated to YouTube becomes an hour spent outside, or a movie on a rainy afternoon is replaced by time spent reading, chatting, or playing pretend!
Starting in 2024, we’ve changed Screen-Free Week to be more flexible! Rather than having an annual celebration exclusively during the first week in May, we are encouraging people around the globe to celebrate Screen-Free Week when they want, where they want, and however they want – just put down those entertainment screens and do literally anything else! You might be surprised at what you find.
