Kids Can't Wait: Urge the Senate Budget Committee to OPPOSE a 10-year Moratorium on State AI Regulation!

🚨 A state moratorium on any regulatory action related to artificial intelligence is being considered in Congress – and it could severely undermine efforts to stop child exploitation online.

This proposed moratorium, buried in the budget reconciliation bill, would halt commonsense regulations urgently needed to combat AI-facilitated child sexual abuse material (CSAM), deepfakes, sextortion, and trafficking.

States must have the ability to act swiftly to protect constituents from AI harms. AI is already being weaponized to exploit children online in horrifying ways:

A blanket pause on state AI legislation would tie the hands of states and law enforcement trying to protect victims—and let abusers operate unchecked.

Please take action now! Urge members of the Senate Committee on the Budget to oppose any federal AI moratorium. We need smart regulation and safety innovation—not a reckless pause that benefits predators.

Dear Senator [First name, Last name],


I am writing to urge you to oppose the federal moratorium on state regulation of AI included in the reconciliation bill. I am deeply concerned about the impact this moratorium would have if signed into law.

This provision would override the rights of states to respond to urgent harms—including the use of AI in child sexual abuse, sextortion, deepfake pornography, and trafficking. States across the country are introducing and passing legislation to hold companies accountable and protect vulnerable populations. A federal ban would silence those efforts.

This is not a theoretical threat. AI is being used to exploit America's children in horrifying ways: 

We need states to be free to act quickly—not handcuffed by federal measures that protect Big Tech, an industry already allowed to operate with immunity from prosecution.

Please oppose this dangerous AI moratorium. Protect states’ rights to lead. Protect our children. And protect our communities.
