North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO)

North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO)
The North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO; a play on NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is an Internet meme and social media movement dedicated to countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In addition to posting irreverent commentary about the war and memes promoting Ukraine or mocking the Russian war effort and strategy ("shitposting"), the group also raises funds for the Ukrainian military and other pro-Ukrainian causes. The representation of a NAFO "Fella" is a Shiba Inu dog, often used as an avatar and sometimes described as a "cartoon dog" or a "group of Shiba Inu soldiers."

NAFO operates primarily on Twitter, with the official communication channel @Official_NAFO.

How to Get a Fella
A "fella" is a custom designed avatar created by a group of volunteer "forgers" in return for a donation to a few designated Ukrainian charities. Fellas are typically Shiba Inu dogs, but can be cats, raccoons, etc.

To get a fella, a Twitter user donates at least $10 to one of the organizations involved with NAFO. Users post a Tweet showing a picture of their donation (with your personal information removed), a description of what your fella should look like (preferably with reference pictures), and tag @fellarequests to get into the queue.

Legion of Fellas
Legion of Fellas is the store associated with fundraising efforts for the Georgian Legion. Our purpose is to support the mission of the Wolves of the Georgian National Legion in Ukraine. Net profits from the store's sales will be donated directly to the Georgian National Legion in Ukraine. First the Morale Patch, and now every other product you see here, was designed by a fella, for the fellas, as a physical representation of appreciation for doing it right, always keeping it funny, and most importantly, having the Legion's back, every single day.

Ukraine Aid Ops (UAO)
Ukraine Aid Ops (UAO) mission statement (edited for length, see website for full): When the Russians rolled across its border in February 2022, the number of people fighting to defend Ukraine massively increased within a number of weeks. Foreign governments poured large amounts of equipment and material into the country, yet it still wasn’t enough to cover demand.

Those messages reached Ukraine Aid Operations. Inspired by the bravery of the Ukrainian defenders, we have committed ourselves to providing them with essential lifesaving gear. We have raised over a million dollars, which is all spent on the purchase and transport of armored plates, helmets, radios, drones, gloves, IFAKs, nightvision, vehicles and many other, smaller items.

These items are all delivered straight into the hands of the units that need them, thus minimizing the risk of things ending up in the wrong place.

The team has rapidly grown to more than 40 volunteers around the world who are helping to raise funds and find and deliver equipment directly to the units in need. Granted U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity status.
