Hello you wonderful humans -- 

It's Bryce here from Squiz Kids + Newshounds. 

We've hit the 10,000 mark - which is incredible. But our elected officials are still not listening. 

Do you reckon we can shout a little louder?

Yeah. I reckon so too. 

We've got just under a month until the federal election. Which means we have just under a month to convince our political leaders that digital and media literacy education is not just a nice-to-have - but a non-negotiable essential.

And so, I want to hit the 20,000 signature mark before the end of the month. Hell, why not dream big and aim for 40k? Afterall, don't our kids deserve it?

Please share this petition with your friends and family.

Use the link above and post it to your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Get your butcher, barista and second-cousin-twice-removed to join the crusade for universal media literacy education in our primary schools by (politely but firmly) requesting the Federal Government fund programs like Newshounds.

And if you're keen to learn a bit more, have a listen to the News Club podcast I did on the topic last week. Link below:
