We have increased our regional focus in areas like grants, new features, and community conversations. How can we improve? - Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy process. We want to know about your activities, ideas, requests, and lessons learned. How can the Wikimedia Foundation better support the volunteers and affiliates working in Movement Strategy activities? Date and Time The meeting will happen via Zoom <https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/84673607574?pwd=dXo0Ykpxa0xkdWVZaUZPNnZta0k1UT09> on 24 April (Sunday) at 07:00 UTC (local time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1650783659>).
