At this point we are probably ready for a small influx of early adopter users, perhaps those that showed interest in the thread a week back. I still need to create a pinned post, but with the detailed group description it is perhaps not a necessity. I also think it would be good to start posting some actual content. I know @dana@blahaj.zone and I have discussed creating a petition for a strong NATO deterent to Russia blowing up the Zaporizhzhia (or any other) nuclear power plant, or the use of any nuclear weapons, including tactical.

I am struggling to find who at NATO would receive such petition. I wrote an email to Public Diplomacy Division asking for guidance. Hopefully, they respond and point me in the right direction.

This group is current mainly focused on raising awareness and calls to action for helping Ukraine in its war against Russia's colonialist aggression. To this end we also encourage as secondary focus:

Sharing Ukrainian Culture
Exposing Russian Compromised Companies/Media/Politicians and Narratives
Exposing the history of Russian Imperialism, under the current regime, under the USSR and under the Tsars.
Raising awareness of other countries suffering from Russia's Colonialist Agression (Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Belarus, etc).
