Hello Reader,

Do you know any force more powerful than a mother on a mission? When something threatens her kids, she speaks up! She doesn’t wait around for someone else to fix it.

So in honor of Mother’s Day we’re celebrating the power of moms who rise to protect their kids in a digital world.

And wow—Melissa McKay is proof of that.

It all started with one shocking moment at school—something her 4th grader stumbled across on a school-issued device that no child should ever see. 😢

That moment lit a fire under Melissa. And she’s never looked back.

Let’s just say she didn’t stop at a parent-teacher meeting.

She didn’t stop at protecting her kids, either.

She’s working to protect yours.

But Melissa tells it best, so today we’re honored to share Melissa’s powerful firsthand story: Parenting in a Digital World: How One Mom Stood Up to Big Tech and Won.

In it, she opens up about:

• The heart-wrenching moment her young son was exposed to porn at school.
• How she took on—not one, not two—but three major pieces of legislation over the last eight years (and how they’re making YOUR kids safer).
• How Big Tech scrambled to stop her.
• And how the first-in-the-nation App Store law she helped pass is finally forcing Big Tech to pay attention (and what it means for your child!).

Don’t miss Melissa’s inspiring story. It’s a reminder that courage, faith, and fierce love can move mountains—and protect the next generation.

Wishing you moms a Mother’s Day filled with the assurance that you are the perfect mom for your child!

Kindly,

Kristen

P.S. Let’s remember to read to our kids! You don’t need to draft legislation to change your child’s life. Sometimes, the most powerful thing a mother can do is sit beside her child and open a book.

Melissa’s journey began with Good Pictures Bad Pictures—a book, a voice, and a moment of connection that told her kids: “You are safe. You can tell me anything.”

Today, only half of parents read daily to their preschoolers.😲 But that simple act—your voice, their trust—can build the kind of protection no filter or app ever could.

It might not make headlines, but it will make a difference.
