Hello Wikimedians of Santali Language User Group


Please excuse the English outreach.


We are reaching out to request your help. As you know, the voting for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is ongoing, and we are anxious to ensure that all eligible community members know they have the right to help choose the best candidates for the role. The voting will close on September 6, 2022 23:59 UTC. 


If you would communicate to your affiliate members, staff/contractors, members of formal bodies (boards), about this vote, we would be grateful. We would also be grateful if you chose to encourage community members in your language(s) or thematic area(s) to participate. We are also reaching out to volunteers. It is our goal that everyone knows that they have a voice that matters.


In case it is helpful, we are including a message you might want to use:


Voting has begun in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections! Voting ends on 6 September 2022, 23:59 (UTC). Verify your eligibility and vote now.


Thank you for reading and considering our request.


Best regards,



Mervat Salman (She/Her)
