Movement Overview
10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom™
10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom™ is a grassroots educational movement helping families create healthier wireless home environments through practical, informed choices.
Founded by public health communication specialist Beverly A. Jensen, Ph.D., the movement was created in response to growing concern among parents about children’s exposure to wireless technologies and the lack of public awareness regarding simple steps families can take at home.
The movement encourages parents to begin with practical actions such as keeping phones out of children’s bedrooms, turning off Wi-Fi at night, and creating healthier sleep environments. These are low-cost, common-sense steps that families can implement immediately.
Inspired by successful public health movements led by mothers throughout history, 10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom™ seeks to engage approximately 10 million Americans—roughly 3% of the U.S. population—in adopting safer telecom practices and encouraging broader cultural awareness.
The movement welcomes mothers, fathers, grandparents, educators, health professionals, and anyone interested in helping children thrive in an increasingly wireless world.

10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom is a grassroots educational movement that encourages parents and families to take simple, practical steps to create healthier wireless home environments.
Our goal is to help families make informed choices about wireless technology use, especially for children, while supporting greater awareness of safer telecom practices.
Mothers often make many of the day-to-day health and household decisions that affect children.
Throughout history, mothers have frequently led social and public health movements that improved family well-being. We believe mothers can play a powerful role in encouraging safer telecom practices and creating healthier home environments.
No.
Technology is part of modern life. This movement is not about eliminating technology. It is about helping families use wireless technologies more thoughtfully and reduce unnecessary exposure whenever practical.
Safer Telecom means using wireless technologies in ways that reduce unnecessary exposure and support healthier habits for children and families.
The movement focuses on practical actions that can be implemented at home without giving up the benefits of modern communications.
We encourage families to begin with three simple changes:
- Turn off Wi-Fi one hour before bedtime.
- Remove phones and chargers from bedrooms.
- Turn off or unplug wireless devices in children’s bedrooms at night.
Many families report improvements in sleep and overall well-being after making these changes.
Sleep is one of the most important foundations of health and well-being.
Bedrooms should be places for rest, recovery, and healthy sleep. Reducing wireless device use and screen exposure before bedtime helps create a calmer sleep environment for both children and adults.
No.
This movement is based on awareness, education, and informed choice.
We believe families deserve practical information and the opportunity to make decisions that align with their own values and circumstances.
No.
Wireless technologies provide many benefits and conveniences.
Our focus is not opposition to technology, but encouraging thoughtful use and reducing unnecessary exposure, especially for children whose bodies and brains are still developing.
Children today are growing up surrounded by wireless devices from a very young age.
Many parents choose a more precautionary approach because children are still developing and may experience far greater lifetime exposure than previous generations.
The movement encourages simple, low-cost actions that families can take while research continues to evolve.
Our goal is to reach millions of parents with practical information and simple actions that can be implemented immediately.
When enough families adopt healthier habits, public awareness grows, social norms begin to shift, and institutions are more likely to consider safer telecom practices.
No.
