Why this petition matters

Started by S Detwiler

In April 2020, the National PTA accepted a $2 million donation from TikTok (https://newsroom.tiktok.com/en-us/partnering-with-national-pta-to-support-students-and-educators-in-our-community This is dirty money from a big tech social media company that has alternative motives for collecting youth data that is not in the best interests of our youth. TikTok's addictive design and the inappropriate content found on its platform is not suitable for healthy brain development, social development nor the well-being of children. If the National PTA partners with unhealthy platforms and encourages use on these platforms (https://www.pta.org/home/programs/connected/social-video-teens/ then they should be held accountable for the mental health crisis impacting our youth from social media consumption, e.g., (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2021/12/17/school-threats-tiktok-social-media/8938607002/ Sign this petition TODAY and demand the National PTA NOT partner with social media companies!
