Monika & all,
I would be most happy to participate in both the *Learn to Purposefully Edit Wikipedia* on February 22, 2017 ~3-4:30pm & *Black History Month Edit-a-thon* on February 23, 2017 3-6pm.
I would like to also have Cascadia Wikimedians be a affiliated sponsor of* Editing as Activism: Black History Month Wikipedia Workshop and Editing* at the University of Washington-Bothell. I will also check with the rest of the board, but I think we will all be in favor.

This is great, thanks for sharing. Please let me know if you need help creating a meetup page and/or distributing on-wiki talk page invitations. I'd be happy to help, and contribute online as needed.
