We’re thrilled to see our former youth roundtable participant and summer intern @EmmaLembke profiled in the @nytimes today! nytimes.com/2022/06/14/sty…

As @julhalps reports, @EmmaLembke launched the @logoffmovement two summers ago to spur dialogue and change among young people regarding their relationship with social media. nytimes.com/2022/06/14/sty…

.@EmmaLembke’s motivation to launch the @logoffmovement arose from her own personal experience:

“I was spending at least six hours a day on these apps…absorbing all of these unrealistic body standards. That down the line resulted in disordered eating." nytimes.com/2022/06/14/sty…

.@EmmaLembke shared more about her personal “incredibly negative and parasitic relationship” with social media in our youth roundtable with @SenBlumenthal in March:

Today, @emmalembke is bringing together young people through the @logoffmovement to share their stories and advance policy change in this country.

For instance, here’s a powerful op-ed from @emi_not_emmy of Log Off in support of the #CAKidsCode:
