Dear Wiki-Yorkers,
We hope you're hanging in there and staying safe and healthy. I'm writing

Wednesday, April 22nd via Zoom. This month, we've invited Esther Jackson
of the New York Botanical Garden to join us for an Earth Day focused
conversation. Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like
answered? Let us know by adding it to the agenda or responding to this
email.

I would like to invite everyone to join Wikimedia NYC and friends in
drinking four cups of wine (or other beverage of your choice) to Free
Knowledge, tonight at 7pm!

The WikiSeder is a secular celebration of wiki wisdom and free culture in
the age of the quarantini. As we pass through our current plague, let us
come together from our lockdowns to retell stories of liberation and crisis
overcome through fellowship and information-sharing.
All are very welcome, this is not meant as a religious or exclusive thing.
There is an American tradition since the 1960s of interfaith and secular
seders highlighting social causes, and I hope WikiSeder can be in this
tradition.
Whether you're marking Passover, Easter, the upcoming Ramadan, or just
Spring, you're welcome to virtually join us and share comments as we
proceed through the evening, and share the role and relevance of
Wikipedia/Wikimedia in overcoming crises past and present, by furthering
the cause of a world that can know itself a little better.
We'll do this as a livestream video episode on the Wikipedia Weekly Network
podcast, so it will be public and go live on Youtube and other platforms at
7pm tonight -
We'll be able to see your comments on the various platforms and respond to
them in real-time, so we encourage interaction in that way.
