The founder of Pussy Riot, a Russian activist group, has collaborated with American artists to raise funds for Ukrainian aid groups.
Russian protest artist and Pussy Riot founder, Nadya Tolokonnikova, is working with NFT creators and the Pleasr decentralization organization to send digital currency to Ukrainian groups.
The group is calling itself UkraineDAO and it will be selling 10,000 NFTs of the Ukrainian flag with all of the proceeds going to nonprofits.
The idea for the DAO came from a Ukrainian-born activist who reached out to Pussy Riot and Tolokonnikova and quickly began organizing the group.
The creation of a DAO is a good way to get international attention and give the Ukrainian people a voice.
The Pussy Riot founder said that the DAO makes sense because it is borderless, permitless and it is so fast.
The country considers itself one of the top five in the world for use of digital currency and has already received $4 million in digital currency since Russia's military aggression.
This is a rare story where a good cause is being used for a good cause, and that is heartening.
Pussy Riot founder, Trippy Labs, and PleasrDAO members are launching a Ukrainian DAO.
On the flip side, a man is being mocked for a post about the Ukraine invasion.
