Our Mission

Finding technology’s place by promoting mindful living, and kind and careful online communication.

A Campaign With an Empowering Message

Since its founding in 2013, the Don’t Press Send Campaign has grown significantly. What began as a community-based project, has grown into an international program.

Katie continues to impart her message in numerous schools, from early learners through college level and beyond. Her two mantras encompass fostering digital wellness from the start, and kind and careful online communication. The backbone of our campaign is the Don’t Press Send Pledge. This pledge has been transformed into an app that has reached over 50 countries and is in the process of a re-launch.

The Don’t Press Send campaign has been featured in countless media outlets which highlight its important message. In 2016, Katie published her first book Don’t Press Send: A Mindful Approach to Social Media, an Education In Cyber Civics. This book offers a clear perspective of the reality of how social media impacts today’s youth and how we can best move forward. n 2023, Katie published her first children’s book, Bye-Bye, Wi-Fi!, which explores the joys an unplugged afternoon can bring. This read-aloud tale reminds readers of the importance of living in the moment and the fulfillment of connecting with one another.

In addition, Katie presented a TEDx Talk in March 2017 at Adelphi University which addressed the importance of finding technology’s place in our lives.
