March 25th is National Unlock Day.
Hey, Concertina Wired Family!
Below is a message from Edovo, the digital education platform that was made available to us in Florida prisons.
It involves you hopping onto your social medias on March 25th and posting the Unlock Emoji ๐, with the hashtags of #Edovo and #UnlockDay as you mention Edovo's account on that platform.
The Edovo Foundation has stated their donors will pay for a day of Edovo for every lock you all pop this way, so make sure it's the UNlock emoji, not the locked lock one. :)
You can see more info at unlockday.org/kit, including where Edovo is on the socials.
Fair forewarning for my Mastodon and Bluesky using family: Edovo does not appear to have a presence there, but maybe prod them where they are, show 'em where they should be to see more impact. :)
On March 25th, we're asking our family, friends, supporting organizations, content partners you've come to learn from, celebrities, politicians, correctional facilities, and everyone in-between to post the Unlock Emoji on social media.
Every time someone posts an Unlock Emoji onto social media, our donors will cover the cost to unlock a day of education for someone incarcerated.
This simple act won't only help fund more education.
When we flood the day with the Unlock Emoji, every jail and prison in America will ask:
"Do we have Edovo yet? How do we get it?"
You can directly help bring Edovo to the other 1,000,000 incarcerated people by helping us make Unlock Day as widespread as possible.
I'm going to ask those of you who choose to participate to do me a favor:
In one toot, tweet, post, whatever verb your platform of choice uses, please post 42 unlock emoji.
Education, after all -- that seemingly endless pursuit of learning -- is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
Don't @me, @Edovo. ;)
