Regarding https://twitter.com/SuePGardner/status/998302792946102273
I propose that the Executive Director resume regular periodic correspondence with donors on other ways they can support the movement, beyond copyright and internet law advocacy that the Foundation traditionally supports directly and indirectly. In particular, I propose that the Executive Director ask donors to support other organizations which are working for free college,[1-4] single payer universal health care,[5] shorter work weeks,[6-7] payroll subsidies,[8] and two-bracket taxation.[9]
I believe all of these goals are favored by wikimedians, for wikimedians, I predict at around 80% for the least popular. If there is any question I ask that a statistically robust and significant survey of the question among community and staff be conducted with the urgency commensurate that work in these areas deserves.
Best regards, Jim Salsman
