KOSA Being Voted On In Senate THIS THURSDAY 7/25/2024

🚨🚨🚨 KOSA being voted on in Senate THIS THURSDAY 7/25/2024

By now you probably have heard of KOSA, or the Kid's Online Safety Act. If not, a quick TLDR here: https://www.them.us/story/kids-online-safety-act-kosa-youth-lgbtq-content

Basically it is a mass censorship and surveillance bill being disguised as "child safety". Grassroots organizers have been fighting against this bill for two years, and now it's come to the point where it will likely pass the Senate unless we make a LOT of noise RN.

The best way to stop this bill is to go to https://www.stopkosa.com/ and use their call script to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO. After this, it goes to the House, and we need to show as much pushback as we can rn asap.

If KOSA passes, this will enable a possible future Trump presidency to go after any and every LGBT content online under the guise of "protecting kids from harm" exactly like they did with book bans. Except, it will be much, much worse.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
