Given that this page
https://www.earthdaylive2020.org/vote/
clearly aims at influencing the election of political candidates to public office and "build political pressure", can we expect the Wikimedia Foundation to file Form 1120-POL as mandated by the IRS?

Adding onto this, it appears the WMF is proudly and publicly displayed on the participants, which may as well be endorsements, page for Earth Day Live: https://www.earthdaylive2020.org/get-involved/
I'm simply astounded by this. Never would I have expected the WMF to take such a strong political position on the American left.
Ah yes, alongside such noted pillars of the American left as... <checks> KDE, Vivaldi, Tumblr, Imgur, and Mapbox*.*

Good point.
