We are a California statewide coalition organizing to engage the larger online community, in promoting age-appropriate, transparent, and youth-led messages. Young people find themselves on social media for hours scrolling endlessly and absorbing harmful messaging.

HOPE builds media literacy amongst youth to assess how harmful messages impact youth’s mental health and advance policies to enforce stronger protections on online platforms.

Join our coalition to get involved with the HOPE movement
