The Tech Industry is Not In Charge!!

DMV Unplugged was formed as a result of the shared passion and determination of Liza Schalch and Keena McAvoy. With experience in healthcare, education, and digital wellness, the pair joined forces after meeting in national advocacy spaces focused on minimizing the harms of technology overuse for children.  They advocate with and inform national and state legislators, local school boards, and parent groups. Liza and Keena are members of Fairplay's Screens in Schools workgroup, the Distraction Free Schools Policy Project, the Tech Safe Learning Coalition and the Smartphone Free Childhood US, where Keena is on the leadership team. DMV Unplugged is driving a change in technology use norms at home and at school so that the fundamental needs and experiences of a growing child and family are prioritized over the incentives of the technology industry.  Most importantly, DMV Unplugged's goal is to make learning about these issues and taking powerful collective action steps in homes, schools, and communities as easy as possible.  Let's change the norms together!!
