UMYO: A Community-Driven Tech Revolution

By: AB Newswire

March 18, 2025 at 13:00 PM EDT

In a world increasingly dominated by big tech and divided by politics, one family has set out to change the way we interact, connect, and solve problems. Gregory Barnard and his three sons, a dedicated tech team, have founded UMYO—a digital ecosystem designed to empower communities, restore accountability, and create real solutions.

A Mission Rooted in Accountability & Transparency

For centuries, we’ve seen the same cycle — communities struggling, businesses disconnected from the people they serve, and individuals feeling powerless in the face of political division, religious bias, and economic disparity. The Barnard family believes that the only real solution lies within the community itself.

“We’ve been conditioned to complain rather than problem solve,” says Gregory Barnard. “For over 100 years, no real solution has been provided, so how have we still been systematically divided and programmed to somehow believe that the government will create one? It doesn’t exist. But it does—and it starts with self accountability.”

UMYO is more than just another social platform. It’s a digital movement that encourages residents, businesses, and organizations to take ownership of their data, economy, and solutions. Video Presentation

Breaking Free from Division

Politics, religion, and jealousy — three of the most powerful dividers in human history — have led to emotional detachment and a self-centered culture where people are willing to step over each other for the almighty dollar. The result? A society where trust is eroded, collaboration is rare, and the sense of true community has all but disappeared.

UMYO is designed to reverse this trend. It’s a platform where:

Communities can own and control their own digital ecosystems
Residents and businesses can directly support each other
Mental health awareness and crime prevention take center stage
Economic empowerment is driven by those who create the value
Youth employment - digital inbound call center where businesses are branded by youth & youth organizations.

“We don’t need more reliance on government or big tech,” Barnard explains. “We need people to take action — to build, to network, to invest in each other. That’s what UMYO is all about.”

A Digital Ecosystem with a Real Plan of Action

UMYO is not just a theory — it’s a fully functional platform that brings together the best of networking, business support, and secure communication. Unlike existing social platforms that thrive on data exploitation, UMYO ensures that communities retain control of their own information and revenue streams.

Here’s how it works:

Each organization with 5,000+ members, will have its own exclusive digital ecosystem tailored for its members offering secure networking security
UMYO provides the tech infrastructure — handling maintenance, day-to-day updates, allowing your organization to focus on its core mission.
A 60/40 revenue-sharing model ensures that businesses, residents, and organizations benefit directly from the platform’s success while creating a sustainable financial model.
Choose which platforms you want exclusively for your members.

This is not about corporate greed — it’s about community reinvestment. The more a community engages, the stronger its economy becomes.

The IAM Pledge – Fighting for Safer Communities

At UMYO, we take crime reporting and mental health awareness seriously. We are committed to using technology to create safer, stronger communities. So the purpose of these digital arks/tribes/ecosystems/communities are based upon accountability. Thus we created the IAM PLEDGE to report violent crimes in my community while addressing mental health concerns. Accountability, transparency and common sense.

Not an Organization? You Can Still Join the Movement!

The Time for Change is Now

As social media giants continue to profit billions while communities struggle, UMYO is proving that a different model is possible. Instead of relying on government aid or outside intervention, people now have the tools to take control of their own economic and social future. (Please Share More)

“This is about common sense mixed with critical thinking,” says Barnard. “We’re done with complaining. It’s time for action.”
