Dear Wiki-Yorkers,
Wikimedia NYC is committed to keeping its volunteers and its communities as
safe as possible, and has made the difficult decision not to lead or
support in-person events through March due to concerns about the COVID-19
pandemic.
NYC now has several cases from community spread, and we believe cancelling
events that bring people together - especially high contact events such as
edit-a-thons - is the most responsible thing to do. Wikimedia NYC is
working with its partners to identify new dates and remote options when
possible, but there will also be cancellations. Updated event information
is available on our events page as it becomes available:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC
Please take care of yourselves and each other. We look forward to editing
with everyone again soon.
Megs
