Since we already have an extensive deployment of mailing lists on our own servers, I am very curious about the reasons to go with an externally hosted service for this one.
Best regards, Jan Ainali

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 https://mailchi.mp/wikimedia/global-advocacy-newsletter-mar-2024. 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

Hello, everyone!
The third Global Advocacy quarterly newsletter https://mailchi.mp/wikimedia/global-advocacy-newsletter-june-2024 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 https://mailchi.mp/wikimedia/global-advocacy-policy-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!

Hi, Miguel, et al.:
What would you like me to do help improve public awareness in the US of what we think are needed reforms of sections 230 and 702?
I'm home based in Kansas City, USA. I can help organize events with an in-person audience in Kansas City, available anywhere in the world with an adequate Internet connection with excerpts broadcasted on a local community radio station and distributed internationally via the Pacifica Radio Network. I've also done research relative to these two issues.[1] I've also produced a radio interview with Matthew Connelly about his (2023) book "The Declassification Engine: What History Reveals About America’s Top Secrets," in which he says that US government threatens US and international security, by encouraging government leaders to clandestinely provoke actions by foreign entities that can then be denounced as "unprovoked" to stamped the US and coalitions of the willing into counterproductive uses of military force.[2]
Thanks, Spencer Graves, PhD
p.s. I'm the President of Friends of Community Media, which has asked me to try to organize events like this. I'm also a journalist with 90.1 FM, KKFI.org, Kansas City Community Radio, which is part of the Pacifica Radio Network of over 200 community radio stations, most in the US but some in Canada and Europe, and I'm and occasional contributor to their "Sprouts: Radio from the Grassroots" series. I'm also a Vietnam-era veteran carrying moral injury from my time in the US Air Force, including my personal complicity in the "Napalm girl" story.[3]

Hi Spencer,
Thank you so much for reaching out! I'm Stan, the public policy specialist for WMF in North America. The main thing we could use help with is letting members of US Congress know that their constituents want better privacy protections from government surveillance. More specifically, contacting your House https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and Senate https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm reps to ask them to enact real reforms to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), like those Sen. Wyden proposed in his Government Surveillance Reform Act https://www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-releases/wyden-lee-davidson-and-lofgren-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-reauthorize-and-reform-key-surveillance-law-secure-protections-for-americans-rights (GSRA) would let Congress know that voters are paying attention. (The GSRA did not get a vote in this congress, but it has the most complete set of reforms of any bill proposed so far.)
Section 702 is set to expire again in 2026, which is the next real opportunity for reforms. This means there's plenty of time to make your voice heard, and potentially share this information through your media channels.
There is also the possibility of meeting up at Wikiconference North America later this year, where we could brainstorm ideas and discuss with others who may want to get involved. I hope to see you there!
Thanks again,
Stan
