Ditch Daylight Saving Time. Permanent Standard Time lets us sleep later for health, mood, safety, education, economy, environment. We’re a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.

North America
🚨 US House Energy/Commerce Committee today amended the Sunshine Protection Act into the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act. If approved by Congress, it would mandate permanent Daylight Saving Time in all states that don’t self-exempt in advance, with no option for exemption after taking effect. 🧐 Permanent DST is a mandate to start work/school an hour earlier than Standard Time in unnatural darkness all winter. It would put sunrise in most states past 8am for 3+ months, and past 8:45am for 1+ weeks. It chronically deprives sleep, decreases productivity (by 5%), and increases illnesses and accidents (by 20%). It was last implemented in the US in 1974 and repealed the same year following deaths and disruptions to commerce. 👉 Tell your US House reps asap to amend MVMA (H.R.7389) to remove SPA (H.R.139) or to reword for nationwide restoration of permanent Standard Time with a clearer option for the minority of states to choose unhealthy/unsafe permanent DST by advancement of their own time zones if so strongly desired (though why DST proponents don’t simply start their own days an hour early remains boggling).

(Most) people prefer sunlight later into the day. The data on mental health say more sun earlier in the day is better, but people would have to get up and view that sunlight to reap the benefits. Data also say “lock the clock” is better than shifting 2x per year so we can’t lose!

Permanent DST has been tried before, and its late sunrises endanger morning commuters and schoolchildren! Only permanent Standard Time is the healthiest way to end clock change.
🌅 Year-round daylight saving: Enjoy longer summer evenings, but winter sunrises will be much later. 🌞⏰ Which do you prefer? 🤔

Yes to permanent Standard Time for circadian health! No to permanent Daylight Saving Time, the forced-early-waking clock! @elonmusk #doge #ditchdst #maha
