James,
You have put forward so many proposals that were off topic in the past
years, that they are unlikely to get serious traction here. I applaud that
you are so concerned with current events, but other venues may be more
effective for you.
Best,
Lodewijk

Nathan,
Even on a list dominated with one-line congratulations, I would agree with
your sentiment under normal circumstances, but I do not consider current
events normal, events are unfolding such that the specifics of my
recommendations have changed, and I don't want to have to tell people in
future decades that I erred on the side of caution.

avoid making essentially the same set of advocacy posts almost every day.

I propose that the Foundation issue a statement in support of striking
Google employees:

And endorsing the call for a national general strike:

(Except for the Lyft part, because one of its founders is on the
adminstration's transition team.)

Is this more appropriate for the Public Policy or Wikimedia-l list?

Several permanent residents have apparently been tricked into signing
away their green cards while being detained without benefit of
counsel.
How many Foundation employees are affected by the travel ban?
Will the foundation join the calls for a general strike?
