Hi All,

Myself, Jason Moore in Portland, OR, and other participants of Wikimedia LGBT (a proposed usergroup) have been organizing an Edit-a-Thon campaign called Wiki Loves Pride 2014. We hope the campaign will reach community groups and institutions interested in diversifying Wikipedia and adding information to articles on LGBT topics. Along with others, Jason and I both helped out organizing the Wikipedia Art+Feminism Campaign and hope to replicate this wildly successful model with apt media and press outreach as well as catering to both wiki and non-wiki crowds.

Wiki Loves Pride, a series of Edit-a-Thons will take place in June (most likely around Saturday June 22nd).

If you are interested in volunteering to help organize these events or have a venue that you think would want to host an Edit-a-Thon please email me or wikiLGBT@gmail.com. We would love to have more co-coordinators and supporters.

Please also find a general event poster attached which we encourage you to distribute to interested parties.

Thank you!

Dorothy
