Hello, everyone!

The third Global Advocacy quarterly newsletter is out!

In this issue we explained why the Foundation and Wikimedia affiliates published an open letter calling UN Member States to commit to protecting public interest spaces on the internet like the Wikimedia projects.

We also shared:

* Interviews where we've explained the role in Wikipedia's existence of Section 230,
* How more than 20 years of lessons learned shape the public comments we submit to international institutions and governments in relation to AI,
* Why we call to reform Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the US,
* And more!

Sign up to the newsletter and please share it with your network, so we can provide more people across the world with quarterly updates on the work that the Wikimedia Foundation and communities are doing to protect the right to free and open knowledge for everyone, everywhere!

Cheers, enjoy the reading, and have a nice day!

Happy midweek everyone,

Please allow me to draw your attention one more time to the official WMF Global Advocacy Newsletter - we just published our second edition. Some highlights include:

* Our thinking around issues like children's rights online
* Updates about the EU Digital Services Act, regulation in France, the recent US Supreme Court hearings
* A list of upcoming events on our radar.

The newsletter is meant for Wikimedians and external audiences, whereas this listserv is for information sharing and coordination within the Wikimedia movement. It is quarterly. We hope it will help our movement influence stakeholders so they think about how laws and regulations impact public interest and community-led online spaces, like Wikimedia projects.

Enjoy the read and have a lovely rest of your week,

Ziski

Dear all,

I am thrilled to share news of the launch of the first issue of the new WMF Global Advocacy newsletter. You can sign up to receive future newsletters at this link.
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 with your networks.
Happy reading!
Ziski
