Dear Community,
As we announced during December,[1] this year’s WikiForHumanRights campaign will be arriving for Earth Day this year: April 15-May 15. The theme is “Right to a Healthy Environment” -- connecting the 20th Birthday “Human” theme with the global conversations about COVID-19, environmental crisis, like climate change, and human rights.You can learn more about the theme at our under-development home page. [2]
The campaign will have two parts: a challenge, like the WikiGap Challenge, and decentralized digital and in-person events (where COVID-19 risk assessments allow).
We need your help organizing the decentralized events -- and will be supporting development of activities through mentoring and rapid grants.
Do you want to be part of organizing? The Campaigns Team at the Wikimedia Foundation invites you to:
-
the upcoming Wikimedians for Sustainable Development meeting on 21 February at 11:00am UTC [3] -
Our next virtual office hour on 25 February 2021 at 3:00pm UTC via zoom.[4]
If you are interested, but can’t attend the meeting: you can also join the Wikimedians for Sustainable Development communication channels for general updates [5] or the WikiForHumanRights telegram channel, where we will share more updates for organizers [6].
Please forward this information to movement organizers who you think will be interested.
Looking forward to talking with you soon!
Alex Stinson
