Unfortunately I am out of town this weekend but I am very glad to see this
and I hope lots of people can attend. Coincidentally, I was just working on
improving the article about the Zone 9 bloggers. Still a lot to do though!

Please join us this Sunday for an edit-a-thon at the

office in support of the Zone 9 bloggers.
Zone 9 is a group of bloggers and journalists based in Ethiopia who
started a blog in 2012 in efforts to facilitate civic engagement and open
discussion about Ethiopia. In April of this year, 6 members of the
collective were arrested in Addis Ababa and now face terrorism charges for
their work. Read more about their case here:
