Legislative Progress
Bipartisan resolutions for days of remembrance almost always pass because they are not controversial and do not require new spending.
Key Points
- This resolution would make June 23, 2026, a special day to remember people who have been hurt or killed because of things that happened on social media. It focuses on issues like online bullying, human trafficking, and drug-related deaths linked to these platforms.
- The plan asks schools, community groups, and social media companies to hold events that teach people about online safety. It also encourages the government to work on new ways to protect kids and teens from dangerous content.
- The resolution notes that teenagers spend about 9 hours on screens every day and over 90 percent of them use social media. It also mentions that about half of teens are online almost constantly. By creating this day, the Senate hopes to show support for families who have suffered and push for a safer internet.
