Hi everyone,
I want to share this message with you. It is from Franziska Putz, Movement Advocacy Manager at the Foundation.
This team is trying to map all the copyright advocacy work that has ever happened in the Wikimedia movement. However, they are having a hard time finding more examples and contacts in the US. Maybe groups, GLAM institutions, or even individual Wikimedians in this mailing list can help them?
Thank you so much!
Best, Giovanna F.

Hi all,
I'm Ziski from the Wikimedia Foundation's Global Advocacy team. I'm reaching out about a new project that we launched to document copyright advocacy initiatives across the Wikimedia movement.
*What: *We are trying to map the copyright advocacy work that Wikimedians have conducted since roughly 2016. Full project details here https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/02/help-wikimedia-map-your-efforts-to-improve-copyright/ .
*Why: *This project will help us learn about our movement’s shared copyright public policy priorities, the common obstacles that communities face, and the campaign materials (as well as other resources) that Wikimedians have created or are creating as part of these advocacy efforts. We'll also compile and share all of the content folks have created as part of their campaigns - infographics, public comments, etc.
Have you worked with Wikimedians to change copyright public policy? If yes, please get in touch! Otherwise, please let us know who else we should contact.
Hope to hear from you,
Ziski
