+> ## GitHub Evacuation Project is evacuating GitHub! 
+
+Makes perfect sense, no?
+
+The very question you all ask, "But where should we go?" is the very same conundrum the project faces. GitHub's popularity and dominance (built on an implied promise to us they've now broken) has stifled the viability of alternatives, much as its new owner has done for decades with Windows.
+
+Upending Microsoft Github's dominance isn’t a one week or one month task. This is going to take work, smarts, patience and principle. We will provide near term solutions for those who can't wait, but we must also figure out viable long term ones the ensure we are never back in this situation again. 
+
+While we figure this out, you can get update notifications by placing a watch on this repo, or by following us on [on twitter](https://twitter.com/upend_org). We will keep updating this repo on GitHub for all the people and projects who have not yet evacuated.
+
+If you'd like to help develop [The Evacuation Guide](#the-evacuation-guide), or on software we may develop to facilitate evacuation, or on the movement itself, please email [email protected] or send us a message [on twitter](https://twitter.com/upund_org).

-## so, what's the goal?
+## What are we going to do about it?
 
-The immediate goal is to be a sort of **GitHub Evacuation Center.** A space for evacuees to declare their status (in **protest** to GitHub, Microsoft and the world). A space to learn or share **escape routes** — In the coming days we will collaboratively put together resources and guides on where best to move you and your projects and how.
+The immediate goal was to provide a means for GitHub users to register their protest by starring this repo and spreading the word. We achieved that. **This ~~is~~ was [the #1 trending repo](https://github.com/trending) on GitHub** — until they censored us. We were gaining around 1,500 stars per day in only our 4th day of existence — until they buried us.  There have been over 132,000 views and over 35,000 unique visitors.
 
-Long term the goal is to seed a resistance movement for a free, open and people-driven internet in service of a free, open and people-driven world.

+We are developing an Evacuation Guide, but obviously not right here on Microsoft territory. The Guide will evaluate the options, measuring them against various criteria. For those options we endorse, we will provide easy-to-follow instructions for migration. If you'd like to help, email [email protected].
