Dear Friends,

I can't wait to see you tomorrow for our event, From Aware to Empowered: Navigating the Online World as Women & Girls

Join me for a timely conversation with three outstanding speakers:

• Sneha Revanur — Stanford student, founder of Encode AI, and recognized as the "Greta Thunberg of AI"
• Nikki Iyer — UC Berkeley student and Co-Chair of Design It For Us
• Kerry Gallagher — Digital wellness expert and educator at ConnectSafely.org

Learn about key legislation protecting women and girls from online exploitation and gain practical tools to navigate today's digital world—from AI deepfakes to misinformation.

Attendees will walk away with:

• ConnectSafely resources for digital wellness
• Ways to join Encode's international youth advocacy network for human-centered AI
• Opportunities to join the Design It For Us Coalition and Innovators Circle (under age 26)
• Information on applying for the ConnectSafely Youth Advisory Council (high school & college students)

We look forward to seeing you there, and feel free to bring a friend!
