The group has been fighting to save what they say is a vital block of land, for environmental reasons, from being developed.
A determination from the Federal Government's Environment Minister, Tanya Plibersek, on the land in Manyana is expected to be made by this time next week.
The group wants people to take a selfie video on a phone and "tell the world" what the unburnt forest means to them and why they think it's important to preserve it and then post it [the video] on social media.
Manyana Matter founder Jorj Lowrey recently set an example by posting a video.
"I am just so nervous about this decision," she said in her video.
"That forest has become the heart of our community - it means so much to so many."
She said it was the symbol of life after the Black Summer bushfires - and still is.
MMEA was formed soon after Black Summer bushfires of 2019/20 when Maynana became "plagued by "Zombie DA's".
Just weeks after the last flames had been extinguished, a developer was poised to clear one of the last remaining areas of unburnt forest in the village.
Manyana Matters will be fighting right to the end.
