Wonderful! I also live in Oakland and would be excited to help. I've supported a bunch of local in-person editing workshops in a range of ways, and I'm up for seeing how I can help with virtual events as well.

In case it's interesting to look at, this was a local Black History Month event last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Black_History_Month_Wiki-a-thon_at_Prelinger_Library

Thank you,
Britta

Hello,

I am the Branch Manager at the African American Museum and Library at Oakland and I am interested in hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon as part of our Black History Month series of events. In the past I have hosted similar events at the Library of Congress and worked with Ariel Cetrone (Institutional Partnerships Manager at Wikimedia District of Columbia). I am new to the Bay Area Wikimedia community and would appreciate any assistance from local wikimedians to make this event (the first one for the Oakland Public Library system!) happen. 

Your time and guidance is greatly appreciated!

Best,
Talia
