Never Give Up, Never Surrender

These three links were posted over at fail_fandomanon in the dedicated post for discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

https://www.standwithukraine.how/ - a comprehensive, readable site in a bunch of languages that clearly indicates where your donation will go, has links to a lot of official information sources, and provides templates and resources for online and offline activism

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBlxPToeCFXL3Mj7jSkoEe8049qmq0OLxjBEzqJaetU/htmlview -- spreadsheet managed by the Oxford University Ukrainian Society with links to donations and remote volunteering (hoping that second tab expands in the coming days)

https://respondcrisistranslation.org/en/get-involved -- do you speak Russian/Ukrainian/EU languages? Ukrainian refugees are going to need a lot of help in the coming weeks and months in the countries they've had to move to; providing translations of essential documents is a great way to pitch in (but note fluency requirements). I especially recommend checking this out as a kind of "pay it forward" thing -- even if you don't have the relevant languages to help Ukrainians, you can help out other people around the world in similar situations

Many of the major humanitarian and aid organisations are also providing assistance either in Ukraine or for the refugees who have reached neighbouring countries and would appreciate donations.

The themes this week have been DACA and the ongoing hurricane relief work. Whatever is affecting you and your loved ones, I hope you're keeping safe. If you're in a position to help, see below for various ongoing activities.

Housekeeping (the usual stuff)
Reminder that we have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.

As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.

Also if you need help with tags, PM redbird, who is our tag guru. Both tassosss and I are very grateful for the help.
