Rethink connection, communication & community in a changing digital world.
hosted by
This initiative is born from the urgent need to address the real and present threats posed by Meta’s business practices and policies—threats that affect individuals, business owners, marketers, creators, communities, and society at large.
With growing concerns, including the looming TikTok ban and political uncertainty, now is the time to come together, and take a stand.
This series and community events are about more than leaving Meta—they’re about embracing a shift toward ethical, value-driven ways of connecting and communicating. Together, we can navigate this time of rapid change, support one another in making pivotal decisions, and build sustainable, inspiring digital foundations for the future.
WHY JOIN?
we are at a precipice
In a world shaped by Meta’s platforms, navigating away from them can feel like uncharted territory. For many, it’s hard to imagine a life—or a business—without Facebook, Instagram, or Threads. Yet, with the growing awareness of their impact, there’s also a rising desire to explore alternatives that align with personal values and creative integrity.
This series was designed for you if you…
- Want to leave Meta but feel overwhelmed, or unsure of how to begin.
- Worry about losing visibility and connection with your audience or clients.
- Want to learn how to effectively market your business without Meta’s tools and platforms.
- Feel frustrated with the ethical concerns surrounding Meta but don’t know what alternatives exist.
- Are concerned about the potential financial impact of leaving Meta platforms.
- Feel stuck in an unhealthy reliance on platforms that no longer inspire or serve you.
- Crave clear, practical steps to transition and build a more aligned, sustainable digital presence.
- Are ready and just need help figuring out how to technically and logistically make it happen!
As this is such a new and emergent reality for most of us, we are still in the process of determining what next steps would be most helpful for ourselves, and for our community. We will be adding to these events and resources in the coming days, for now, here’s what’s coming up:
Sunday January 19-

lights out meta
Deactivate, delete & defund meta
We’ll be participating in the Lights Out META movement from January 19-January 26, and I’m encouraging you to join me! This means we are temporarily deactivating our accounts on all Meta-owned platforms—Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, and others—for one week.
Why are we doing this?
This movement aims to address major concerns about how Meta operates, including:
- Privacy issues: Meta profits from our personal data.
- Social media’s impact: From misinformation to mental health, the way we interact on these platforms deserves reflection.
- Corporate accountability: Meta holds enormous power, and it’s important to show that users won’t always just accept the status quo.
What does this mean for you?
You don’t need to delete your account! You can simply deactivate it temporarily—it’s super easy to reverse once the week is over. Think of it as putting your account on pause.
Taking this small action is a meaningful way to send a message, especially if these issues matter to you. Plus, let’s be real: we could all use a break from the endless scroll. Spend time doing other things—read a book, take a walk, touch some grass. A little detox could do wonders for your mental clarity.
Let’s take this opportunity to reflect on how we use social media and how we can demand better from the companies we rely on. Let’s make a statement together!
