Dear all,
I am thrilled to share news of the launch of the *first issue*
<https://mailchi.mp/wikimedia/global-advocacy-newsletter-nov-2023> of the
new WMF Global Advocacy newsletter. You can sign up to receive future
newsletters at *this link*
<https://mailchi.mp/wikimedia/global-advocacy-policy-newsletter>.
This project is inspired by our desire to share the Wikimedia Foundation's
unique policy perspectives on pressing tech regulation issues with public
audiences, including policymakers, Wikimedians, and free knowledge
advocates. Our goal is to help these interested groups better understand
how we think about the internet and digital rights, and how laws and
regulations can and should be shaped to not only protect public interest
and community-led online spaces, like Wikimedia projects, but also to help
them flourish.
The newsletter will be emailed quarterly. Please feel free to share
the subscription
link <https://mailchi.mp/wikimedia/global-advocacy-policy-newsletter> with
your networks.
Happy reading!

Hi all,
We have now settled on the dates for this year's Big Fat Brussels Meeting,
the regular European advocacy focused gathering for Wikimedians. It will
take place on the *29 and 30 September* (a Sunday and a Monday).
In order to assess how many people are interested, we have prepared a form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrzdN79d-bJva0p1SQZJXQjZzkY6kiE8X…>.
*If you would like to participate, please fill it out.* Also, due to the
resources available and to make the most of the workshops, there will be a
maximum of 25 participants this year.
Cheers,
Dimi
