Mac Whittum, an ambassador for the Know to Protect campaign and its signed partner the National Police Athletic League, asked young people to take an online-safety pledge and share it with friends and family. "The internet should be a safe place where we can learn, connect, and have fun without fear," Whittum said.
Whittum said the campaign aims to protect children and teens from online exploitation and offered a clear call to action: visit nottoprotect.gov to take the pledge and then share it online and in person. "We can change that together and get this, it's super easy. Visit nottoprotect.gov today to take the pledge to protect. Once you do, share it online and in real life with your friends, classmates, family members, and others in your community," he said.
He closed by urging immediate action: "Don't delay. Take the pledge. Pass the pledge today." The remarks were a presentation and did not include any formal motion, vote, or policy action by the meeting body.
No additional details about campaign funding, local implementation, or follow-up steps were provided in the remarks.
