[Gendergap] Chapters - get involved - Re: washington dc

[Sarah Stierch]

+1 to that. I've voiced my opinion previously about that on the WM DC
mailing list.

Folks, if you wish to get involved with one of the two chapters in the
United States, you can learn more here if you're interested in Washington,
DC:

http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Home

And you can join the mailing list, which is the best place to voice opinions
(and Katie did forward the message about concerns regarding the blocked user
on the board on the mailing list and no one has commented, yet.):

And there is also Wikimedia NYC:

If you live outside of the US, you can learn more about your local,
regional, or national chapter here:
