Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am a constituent and I am asking you to please support New Jersey SB 3901.

As kids and teens are spending more and more time on devices and social media platforms, it's vital that they acquire the skills and tools to know how to consume and evaluate information, ask questions, avoid manipulation, and engage in digital spaces safely and confidently. Please support New Jersey SB 3901 and continue to prioritize media literacy education for all K-12 students.

Sincerely,

Summary

Under current law, school districts in New Jersey are required to incorporate instruction on the responsible use of social media into the technology education curriculum of students in grades 6-8. This bipartisan bill, SB 3901, expands the current law for students in grades 6-12 and includes instruction on the risks associated with social media and cell phone addiction.  Instruction would cyber safety, security, and ethics, cyberbullying, cell phone addiction, and the potential negative impact of social media on mental health, personal relationships, and personal development.  If you reside in New Jersey, now is the time to reach out to your legislators and urge them to support SB 3901. Take action today!
