ALT “SP2 FACULTY EXPERTISE: 2024 U.S. Elections.” Text appears below the banner: “‘This election is crucial for youth digital safety and well-being. New leadership should prioritize inclusive digital policies that protect young people through strong online safety regulations, accessible mental health resources, and enhanced digital literacy programs. With young people spending much of their time online, they should have a voice in digital well-being policies as community advisors and experts to ensure their needs are met. We need leaders who will hold tech companies accountable, enforcing transparency and safety measures designed to protect younger users. Integrating digital literacy into school curriculums and expanding resources, especially in low-income areas, are essential steps forward.’ Siva Mathiyazhagan, PhD, Research Assistant Professor, Associate Director of Strategies and Impact, SAFELab”

This means advancing economic policies that reduce inequality, safeguarding reproductive justice, ensuring universal health care with robust mental health support, and creating affirming schools, neighborhoods, and third spaces for youth and emerging adults.
