Watch a full panel of tech reform advocates and child health professionals shoot down @SenJohnKennedy's bill to ban users under 16 from social media. Protecting kids online is a serious issue that deserves thoughtful solutions. Congress shouldn't waste time on gimmicks.

Great questioning by Dems in the Texas House at this week's HB20 hearing. This bill would stop social media platforms from taking down hate speech and misinfo. Shout out to @Senfronia4Texas, @BucyForTexas, @juliejohnsonTX, @RepLongoria, and @moodyforelpaso for taking a stand.

EU policymakers are trying hard to influence CA tech policy. In a letter to @GavinNewsom, we're urging the Governor not to turn California's thriving tech economy into the EU's lackluster tech sector by replicating the bloc's mistakes. progresschamber.org/wp-content/upl…

It's worth a look back at last week's CPUC hearing on the future of AVs in San Francisco. An incredibly broad coalition of safety advocates, disabled San Franciscans, union labor, and industry turned out to support autonomous vehicle access in SF. Here's what they had to say:

Congress is running out of time to pass the YIMBY Act, which will cut red tape and ease our national housing crisis. Today, we urged House leaders to advance the YIMBY Act to help families from getting crushed by skyrocketing housing costs. You can also make your voice heard

Congress has the opportunity to pass the bipartisan YIMBY Act during the current lame-duck session, but partisan squabbling is preventing the bill from being brought to a vote. Join us in emailing your representatives to tell them to support the bill! secure.everyaction.com/Cv_0_zLouUuKUs…

Yes or no, Sen. @MarshaBlackburn, will you fix KOSA so it can't be used by attorneys general to attack LGBTQ+ communities online? We're proud to stand up to the senator who's openly acknowledged their social media legislation will be used to censor trans content.
