One way to help is spread the message to users on other platforms. Talk about DRS as much as you can and there is even stickers and business cards that are created by the whydrs team to help spread the DRS message IRL
Great write up Chives. The more we learn about DRS and actually owning your shares so no broker can get their hands on them the better!
It is a community that are invested in BBBY. We have followed the bankruptcy process and dockets to better understand our investments. There is a belief that Ryan Cohen who is listed as a creditor and interested party will buy BBBY and merge it into a new company to challenge Amazon. There was a subreddit called thePPshow but was banned by reddit. They also have a Youtube livestream where they discuss and just today had Bill Pulte join.
Same but also felt there have been so many stories that I have been missing. Another issue with US based media is it only focuses on the US vs the world which creates just as much issues. We are very interconnected with everyone and the criminals at the top do not care about borders. Many of these organizations I linked do a great job looking at global problems from journalist directly on the ground and are local
There are also more loop holes such as if you own a Yacht or private jets you can use it as a tax write off, if you own horses for horse racing you can also deduct it off taxes along with owning your own sports team. ProPublica has done an amazing job with investigating tax loopholes

TLDR: Theory is AST who is owned by Equiniti getting bought by Gamestop and then BBBYQ shares and subsequently Teddy shares go on blockchain and the NFT marketplace
I have been doing some research on this and contacting organizations. You can find my posts here:

An AIG will be perfect in using our voice within the market. It will give us more credibility with the SEC and the Company. We will be able to push for changes on DRS and if need be getting a board seat to speak to what we would like. There are so many changes that can be made with shareholder resolutions:https://www.whydrs.org/shareholder-proposals-guide
Sadly there is not that much information out there in how to create one. We will be the first of hopefully many. With this organization we can push for DRS in not only gamestop but also the whole market. ShareAction whom I have contact with targets Asset managers and Pension funds to support their proposals on ESG. This puts pressure on the company and encourages change and will gradually put pressure on other companies to do the same. Wall Street really does not like Activist investors as they mess with their game they have rigged. Imagine if household investors who are getting introduced more and more to the market learn about the power of shares and the benefits of being invested in a company.
Welcome! Sadly reddit has been suppressing DRS talk for awhile now but luckily we found a place to discuss and push for more advocacy
I have been looking into this more and have identified a few groups: Climate Action 100, SOC investment Group, ShareAction, Follow This. I have reached out regarding some of these with questions and am waiting a response back. From what I can see we are creating something that has never been done before especially with us having our shares in DRS. From what I can see you become a member by holding a share in the company and contacting the AIG. You then become a member of the AIG in support of a common voice. There are some AIG that are located in London and Amsterdam so it may be possible for it to be international.
