TELL LAWMAKERS: PROTECT WA KIDS ONLINE - SUPPORT SB 5708/HB 1834

We are excited to announce that in 2026, we will continue working with the Washington State Attorney General, Senator Noel Frame, and Representative Lisa Callan, to protect Washington kids online by reintroducing SB 5708/HB 1834.  

Research shows that excessive engagement with addictive online platforms, like social media, can increase the risk of behavioral health issues. Yet these platforms use data tracking and intentional design principles to keep young people online for as long as possible. 

SB 5708/HB 1834 will require companies that operate addictive online platforms in our state to create a less harmful experience for kids by:  

• Stopping platforms serving targeted addictive feeds to minors. 

• Stopping platforms from sending push notifications during school and sleep hours—they interrupt learning, harm sleep, and drive compulsive checking.  

• Ensuring all users have access to settings that promote privacy and healthy relationships with online content. 

Use the form below to email your lawmakers and urge them to support this legislation in the upcoming session! You can edit the content of the email to include your personal story or connection to the issue.
