    Ok so it’s actually sponsoring, they are being forced to contribute by the Russian government. Not a nebulous ‘still doing business and paying taxes therefore…’

    So, they could have chosen to leave the country, but they chose to stay and and take on the extra demands of the government.

      I jusr popped off an email to the corporate office in my country and left a message at https://www.unilever.com/contact/ asking to know why they’re still operating in Russia and promising to not shop Unilever until they stop. I also reviewed the list of Unilever brands available in my country and added them to my boycott list.

          That sounds good.

          Will it be limited to war sponsors for Russia’s illegal & unprovokedinvasion of Ukraine or other wars too?

              Sure, count me in. Alternate names could be SponsorsOfRussianImperialism/ SponsorsOfRussianInvasion shortened to SoRI. Just a suggestion. is good too. RussianInvasionSponsors aka RIS.

              How often should we update it? Weekly? Or more often? Should we also provide the publicly available contact info, for these villains so people can mail/ message them? We could regularly update worldnews and relevant mag.s to remind people who the villains sponsoring Russian villains are.

              Just bouncing off a few ideas.

                I like “SponsorsOfRussianInvasion” best. I haven’t really thought of the frequency of updates. Ideally it would be nice to have something every day. But it only makes sense when we find something newsworthy. Contacts of the villains might be helpful for some, but I think money speaks the loudest.

                  I’ve created m/SponsorsOfRussianInvasion. There seems to be a technical issue adding moderators, as soon as it is resolved I’ll add you as a mod.
