“Any meaningful effort to better protect children online is a step in the right direction, but it is only a starting point. Social media companies have spent years building platforms designed to keep young people engaged. They have a responsibility to ensure those same platforms are not putting children’s safety and well-being at risk.”

“Literacy is the foundation for everything: a good job, financial independence, being able to help your kids with homework. This $60,000 grant means that more adults in our district will get the one-on-one instruction they need to build those skills. I’m proud to see this investment in our community, and I’ll keep fighting for the resources our libraries and literacy programs need to serve every family in the Sweet 16th District.”
