Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy Rapid Grants

Hi everyone, @Stella - Thank you for reaching out and asking the question! As it is rather specific, I will respond and continue this conversation in a private thread. For everyone to note - providing data packages is indeed something we can do to support participation in the movement strategy online discussions: - We are happy to process your request for the group as part of your Rapid Grant application [1], and - We will follow-up with you if you have stated the need in the registration form for global events [2]. Thank you for your kind attention!
