Dear John,

The current information environment is harming our democracy.

Big, sprawling, diverse democracies like ours rely on facts and common narratives to hold them together. They need shared realities and traditions that promote compromise and understanding. Unfortunately, today’s social media companies foster the opposite: echo chambers, sensationalism, and harassment. Their business models thrive on division, and they are more effective at spreading lies than facts.

That’s why we at Issue One work tirelessly to hold these social media companies accountable — and it starts with protecting our kids. Safeguarding them is the first step and the best opportunity to generate the bipartisan support necessary to build a healthier online environment.

This work is deeply personal for countless families.

Kristin Bride, a devoted mother and member of Issue One’s Council for Responsible Social Media (CRSM), turned her unimaginable loss into a powerful crusade for change after her son, Carson, fell victim to the harms of social media after enduring relentless cyberbullying.

Together, with Kristin and dozens of grieving parents like her, we’ve tirelessly advocated to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Thanks to our collective efforts, KOSA passed the Senate 93-1 earlier this year. While the path ahead for this bill is uncertain — we’re not backing down.

Our work to hold these companies accountable won’t stop anytime soon. We’re committed to exposing Big Tech’s failures and driving bold, bipartisan solutions through our Council for Responsible Social Media.

Please join us as we pursue this vital work in 2025 and beyond. This holiday season, your gift will go twice as far. A generous donor is matching every donation up to $100,000 between now and December 31st. That means your support today will have double the impact ([link removed]) to advance efforts to protect kids and hold Big Tech accountable.
GIVE NOW & DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT ([link removed])

As you celebrate the holidays with your loved ones, please consider making a donation. Too many families will feel the loss of their children this holiday season due to the harms inflicted by social media.

Your gift will carry forward Kristin’s fight, honor Carson’s legacy, and build a safer digital future for all.

Make your tax-deductible, matched gift today ([link removed]) to help enact tech reform, protect our children, and ensure accountability from the platforms that shape so much of our world.

Thank you for joining us in this vital cause this holiday season.

With gratitude and holiday wishes,

NICK PENNIMAN, CEO & Founder, Issue One
