If we do not govern
our technology,
it will govern us.

A new era of technological change is upon us.

It threatens to supplant the human person and make the family functionally and biologically unnecessary.

But this anti-human outcome is not inevitable. Today, we are issuing a call to take back control, as a society, of our pathways of technological innovation, guarding the human body, childhood, and the family, against technological hacks that degrade the human person, and channeling innovation toward new forms of production that dignify work and empower the household.

More than two dozen luminaries of conservative thought have united in support of this vision.

We hope you will too.

I serve my child.

I cannot defend commerce when it is used to addict his toddler brain to screens, and to addict his adolescent brain to pornography."
