[Wikimedia-l] Re: Movement funding questions

In case there really is a question about whether we should be working towards greater equity, please see the Wikimedia Foundation's vision statement [1], the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment and in more detail [2], contributors, and to eliminate barriers that could preclude people from accessing or contributing to our projects ... Since sj's point is in the context of Wikimedia, "goals of increasing equity across the world, and supporting underrepresented communities" should be understood as "goals of increasing equity [to read and contribute to Wikimedia projects] across the world, and supporting underrepresented [Wikimedia] communities". Please correct me if I've misunderstood these affiliate review suggestions.
