Dear fellow Wikimedians,
On the 7th of April, a joint statement was published by Wikimedia groups,
ally organization, and individual Wikimedians expressing concern over the
humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine. The statement calls on "all
Wikimedia groups, affiliates, allies, and volunteers to unite in solidarity
with humanity and demand an immediate and lasting ceasefire to halt the
tragic loss of life and destruction of Palestinian cultural heritage."
Additionally, the signatories call upon the WMF to "prioritize the
impartial dissemination of information and accurate, real-time
documentation of the current human-caused humanitarian disaster and erasure
of cultural heritage" and to "take proactive measures to ensure the safety
of volunteers, communities, partners and knowledge and memory institutions
from Palestine contributing to the dissemination of knowledge."
Since the initial release, several additional groups and individuals have
signed on to the statement, and others are kindly urged to do the same.
The statement can be found and signed here:

Peace and justice for all,
