Hi everyone
It’s been a while since we have written to this list. We hope you are all
doing well!
We want to let you know that on Friday September 20, for 24 hours, the
Wikimedia Foundation’s website will participate in the digital
<https://digital.globalclimatestrike.net/> version of the Global Climate
Strike <https://globalclimatestrike.net/> (a “green out”) to draw attention
to the necessity to “transition fairly and swiftly away from fossil fuels
to 100% renewable energy for all.” We think that there cannot be any doubt
about the need for policy that addresses global warming
<https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/>. Therefore, the Foundation will support these
efforts that affect us all and ultimately promote the cause of sharing free
knowledge as well.
This will only be on the Wikimedia Foundation’s website, not on Wikipedia.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
Jan
