Subject: Wikimedia Israel joins the nationwide strike to protest the
exclusion of gay couples the right to become parents
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi,
A few days ago, the Israeli parliament, with the support of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, blocked a legal change on that would have
given the LGBT community the right to become parents. The new law denies
state-supported surrogacy to LGBT couples and single men.
In response, Israel’s LGBT Task Force called publicly for a strike on
Sunday, "The LGBT community is calling upon you, the LGBT and community
supporters, to join us in a one-day nationwide strike on Sunday, July 22,
Tisha Be’av".
During the last few days, a huge list of big companies and organizations in
Israel *publicized *their support and joined the strike by allowing their
employees to take a paid day off work to join the nationwide protest.
This morning, the board of Wikimedia Israel, alongside with other
organizations joined this call and published this announcement:

*"Wikimedia Israel supports the just struggle for full equality, led by the
Israeli LGTBQ community.*
*Equality to every woman and man, regardless of gender, sexual preference,
religion, origin, or disability is a central value in the international
Wikimedia Movement. *
*The current outcry for the right for parenthood, indiscriminate medical
treatment, and protection against violent statements by public figures
against the LGTBQ community, is a part of the grand and continuous struggle
for full rights and legitimacy to the Israeli LGTBQ community, and we
support them in their struggle."*
