Embedded Files
In February 2026, the OFF Movement is launching the first edition of OFF February. Inspired by Dry January, this is an opportunity for people to reclaim their time and attention by deleting social media apps from their phones for the 28 days of February.
What happens when we collectively decide to stop being the product and take back control of our time?
HOW IT WORKS:
HOW IT WORKS:
⟶ Grab an OFF February pledge card at our kickoff gathering at Maggio's on Feb 1 or download & print your own.
⟶ Delete any app that steals more time than the value it offers.
⟶ You don't have to permanently delete your accounts.
⟶ If you need them, access them from a computer.
⟶ Present your completed pledge card to participating locations on or after March 1 for a reward!
