nice information @familyprotection ....

### dear @familyprotection i want join in your community.

I really like and support this idea of @ned and @sneak. Just want to know will this payment portion be deducted from the remaining 75% of the posts?  
> Communities will eventually support payment splitting, where a portion of the posts reward is shared with the community account. Community admins will be able to set this amount as a percentage (from 0-100). When enforced, a post will only be allowed within the community if the author shares the required percentage of the rewards with the community account.

@canadian-coconut, You're doing a fantabulous job! Steem On!

This is awesome:

Steemit is very powerful and you're doing the right thing. This will inspire many. All the best wishes to @familyprotection and @Canadian-coconut. Shared with my followers. Happy Steeming!

Still grinning over the boy band name! It actually sounds familiar somehow. 🤔
Looking forward to the communities platform. Hopefully it's not to far into the future.

This is my very first week on Steemit and I'm already in love with it. Everyday, I keep exploring it more and more and have followed some amazing blogs and you're the new addition on the list. I'm your 1037th follower. Your vision is great and I believe the issue that you're creating awareness about is related to each one of us. I'm just a minnow, don't know how can I contribute to your cause other than upvote...may be through a post? Please guide. 

All the best wishes to you in this year and ahead.

Definitely, Linda has put in a lot of work in this project and, personally, I'm amazed how does she find the time to follow up on stories and engage with the community.
Let's hope this year will be good for cryptos, so that the @familyprotection account can grow big enough to make a difference.

This is stunning news. Thank you. This will mean that you guys have more time - thank you all up to now for all the hard graft you have put in to create and keep this going - I'm now going to be dedicating most of my daily 11 upvotes now to familyprotection. Resteemed.

keep up the good work. It was definately a good idea. Many families struggle with the dark side of western society, and exposure to it is critical.

@familyprotection is a light in a darkened world. Together we can all make a difference in the lives of families and children.

Incredible news!!! Does this mean @sneak has called off the flag attack?

keep your friends, good luck

Its amazing to see what u are doing and what you have already achieved. Looks like @ned and @sneak are really onto sometiing with the communities idea as it just makes sense... 

Keep up the amazing work guys!

Keep up the good work. Happy to be a part of the familyprotection community.  @ironshield

I am short of words and my brain is dead silent right this moment, but my heart "KNOWS" that we are on the right path.

Many thanks to Ca-Co, the sweat and heart you put into this struggle is beyond words and you are more than just a Lady, you are A shining Inspiration!.

What can I say about Mark that isn't already visible!, you are great Buddy and your heart is rare, of all the numerous project you could think of initiating, you chose the one that Gives Children a future and families hope, I can't see any road that is better than this. Thank you!!! 

The @familyprotection community would be unstoppable because of us all, everyone of us that has looked beyond the colors, classes, races and our differences, we would be the positive frontier to every piece of FamilyPreservation.

@familyprotection the community you have built here on Steemit is very inspiring, and as an activist I need to pay attention to what you are doing and how you are doing it here on Steemit.  Although I am not 100% clear on your model here on Steem, the major flaw I can see is not being able to hodl all of your steem because you have to cash some out for the charity.  Keep up the great work!

> When we first heard of this up and coming communities project, we knew that @familyprotection was on the right path and it gave us an extra incentive to make something of our little community.

> We are proof that this proposed model for communities works in reality. Not only are we rewarding our members who write good content, but we are helping to raise awareness on a very sensitive issue and by doing so we are creating solidarity and unity which is the foundation of any healthy community.

You're right; you have. In part because of energetic supporters like @richq11 . 

Do you have any advice for someone who wants to form a proto-community around a different subject or issue?

Good post

This is absolutely heart warming, keep being you and advocating for such a great cause. Upvoted

It is a good cause and a very noble community to help so many people in the future, I really like this community with the aim of helping people who need help later.

Hey...I am a comedian and I think humor can be a tool to fight for righteous causes....I though about making humor about CPS incompetence.....this is a bit sensitive and I would like to know if you would allow me to post it in your tag....I made this example in 9gag   https://9gag.com/gag/avO7RNb?ref=w.upvotenoti ....may I post it in #familyprotection or it's just articles? thanks

Sent back vote @familyprotection

I love it. My only suggestion is can you change the word "can" to WILL.

the work the community is doing is really impressive. Keep the support for good families and the kids up!.

So good to see @familyprotection doing so well. It really is a great example of what can happen when people come together and stand for what is right. There is such a need for this in the world  and I know we will see it continue to grow. Thanks so much @markwhittam and @canadian-coconut for creating this and making it what it is today, Family protection is Unstoppable!

Out of all the places ive found on steemit. This community is one that is to close to home not to get heavily involved in. As a canadian, as a father and as someone who sees all the wolves under the wool. I want to help make the world better. So i want to start with my own country. We need to have a blockchain dedicated to children in the system. So we can validate potential homes and placements based on their uniqueness and the needs that they will uniquely need. Scrutiny, privacy, security, we need to push for our governments to reinforce the potential of distributed ledgers in the child care system. Abuse is rampant and kids are sufferingg as i type this and it burns my heart knowing im too poor as an individual to do anything substantial. Im not educated enough to write up a code so that know your child, know your caregiver, know your adopter are all seemlessly integrated. No coins no pump and dump just a ledger system. To keep kids safe. im here for @familyprotection because i want to exist in this community. Much love. I hope i dont sound ignorant i just type what my heart says..

Meeting @canadian-coconut has been one of the highlights of my steemit career, there is no one on the platform with a bigger heart and a more passionate soul, (though I will certainly give @markwhittam a close second).  We are all indebted to the efforts of these two individuals for everything they do here, Heroes of curation, but more importantly heroes for anyone who struggles against the tyranny of the system.
Thank you so much guys, what a fantastic way to show how the communities feature will work!

I just know, here there is a community like this. very amazing @familyprotection, eager to be part of this community.

community is what it's all about. stand united! :)
I have much respect and love for @canadian-coconut.  She is a beautiful soul, an amazing and caring woman. sending you big love :)

Love being a part of this group and so happy to see it growing. People need to know the truth and this is one of the best places that is putting the truth out there. It's time to stop turning a blind eye to what is going on with the children.

Family protection is unstoppable thanks to your extremely hard work @markwhittam and @canadian-coconut you put into this and of course your huge hearts.  
You guys are the steemit heroes for the families.

Amen. Well said.
