I'm not giving up, and neither should you. They need us more than we need them.
This is how we take our power back. The Digital Exodus
We’re watching the foundations of democracy, climate justice, and truth itself is fall away, and many people are asking, “What can we actually do?” Here’s one concrete, overlooked step: —> We migrate. We unplug. We reclaim our digital and economic power. Big Tech companies - Meta, X, Google, Amazon, Apple - are no longer neutral platforms. They are actively profiting from surveillance, division, and in some cases, enabling political and climate collapse. But they only have power because we give it to them. The Plan: Migrate off the Big 5 Platforms
What to do on (or before) April 22, Earth Day:
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about leverage. This is the most obvious, untapped leverage point we have. They gave us the key when the Big5 stood on the dais on inauguration day.
If I’m wrong, the worst that happens is a long-overdue digital detox. If I’m right, this is how we begin to disrupt the infrastructure of collapse. Like the Last Alliance in Lord of the Rings. THIS moment matters. We still have time. But not much. Let’s move. Let’s take our power back! The power we gave away was over digital. So to get it back, we have to get off it. We don't need to part the river - we ARE the river. About the Movement:
The Digital Exodus is a long-term strategic boycott of the Big Tech 5 (Meta, X, Google, Amazon, Apple) as a way to reclaim our power, attention, and democracy. Since meaningful migration takes time, April 19 marks our soft launch, a strategic alignment with the 50501 Movement's April 19th Day of Action. The goal is get momentum building by Earth Day (April 22)—a day that symbolizes exactly what we're fighting for: a healthy, just world for all. From there, we keep going - amplifying and expanding until we reach a critical mass in the U.S. and beyond that can’t be ignored. This doesn't have to be perfect. Even just reducing your Big Tech use by 70-80% makes a difference. What matters is participation—at scale. Why does migrating off Big Tech matter? Because attention is power. Data is power. Dollars are power. By withdrawing those from the Big 5, we:
If enough of us pull away our attention from these apps and devices, we interrupt their economic model and their influence pipeline, reduce their power, and ultimately create an opening to influence what comes next. Reopening J.E.D.I. Writers
J.E.D.I. (initially standing for "Just Effing Do It") Writers is a community writing group held on Zoom, and is now free and open to anyone who wants tech support or community while migrating over to new platforms. You can sign up here.
