It's at 10:15 am, Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) this Thursday, December 11. Bills include KOSA, the odious SCREEN Act, the App Store Accountability Act, COPPA 2.0 (aka CTOPPA), and more., and it will be livestreamed here.

Now's a very good time to contact your representative! Here's Fight for the Future's suggested script, from https://www.badinternetbills.com/

“Hi there, My name is (your name) and I am calling to oppose multiple harmful internet bills that are moving through Congress right now. I oppose all bills that mandate online ID checks, infringe upon our constitutional right to free speech on the internet, enable government policing of online resources, and threaten end-to-end encryption. If you truly care about young people’s experience on the internet, you should pass comprehensive data privacy legislation and oppose any bill that forces Internet users to submit to ID checks or would censor the internet, like the SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and KOSA.”

https://www.badinternetbills.com/ has a calling tool that connects you with your representative, or you can just use the Capitol Hill Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. If you're not sure who your representative is, you can look it up here.
