Premature Ending of Avtonom Crowdfunding

Action against Crimean takeover in year 2014 in Moscow

From avtonom

Full original title: The Crowdfunding campaign of Autonomous Action is forced to end prematurely, donate until the 15th of September

On the 16th of August, we launched a crowdfunding effort to continue our online media activities in an environment, which is becoming more and more hostile.

We are committed to remaining in Russia, and to spreading anti-war and anti-militarist message within the country. We believe that you can only observe and understand the general mood and emerging trends in upcoming protest waves against the war and regime from within the borders of the country. And they will definitely come.

However, we have been informed by Firefund, that their payment provider is about to terminate the service. Thus, Firefund is forced to end our campaign early.

The last day to make donations is the 15th of September.

The good news is, that all the donations will be charged, even if the crowdfunding goal is not reached. However, missing our crowdfunging goal due to the premature end of the drive will be a big setback for us. So we ask you to please spread this message to get us as close as possible to our
crowdfunding goal.

Today there are only six more days left for you to do that!

When are anarchist soli groups going to stop using Paypal, for fuck's sake? This here shows how they're unreliable, but also fascist techie Peter Thiel is profiting from it.

The reason why I didn't give much to USA's ABC is due to them clinging to this same-old hostile money exchange service (and CashApp which works only for the US).

So at least this group moved to crypto funding... but why not using Wise as a direct bank-to-bank service?

Every time an anarchist uses money they support the state! Bad!
Crypto computing runs on anarchist energy grids powered by hopes and dreams of revolution. Organic farm fresh microprosessors and fungi-based internet is Good!
Derp derp derp.

I thought Theil no longer was with PayPal?

You're right, he just founded the business.

But the point brought about Thiel is irrelevant... Paypal is a bad business that ain't reliable and like in the case here, has a long record of shutting down/snitching on activist or anarchist support funds. The writing was on the wall for years, yet some anarchist groups are still sticking to using this service no matter what.

Muh direct bank-to-bank transfer is so much betters

Uh you brought up Theil. Now it’s irrelevant once pointed out to you he no longer with PP? PP is “bad business” is there good business? Id reliability what you’re upset about? Good banking money non-snitch business reliability for activists? You must be exhausted.

Support Autonomous Action - until 1st of October

We announced before, that we have to halt our crowdfunding prematurely in 15th of September, but documents of FireFund were eventually accepted by their payment provider, so our crowdfunding will continue as before. We are collecting funds for daily maintenance of our social media. We are spreading news about anarchist activities in Russia in daily basis, as well as news on repression and anti-war protests. We should reach our goal of 3000 euros until 1st of October, this far we have raised 1700 euros and 1300 euros are missing. Unless we reach our goal, we get no money.
