Hi everyone, Following up on my earlier note, today we’re launching the #WikiHerStory initiative as part of Women’s History Month this March. We would love your support in helping to amplify the initiative this month, here are a couple ways you can get involved:
Share #WikiHerStory on social media If you would like to help amplify the initiative, please share on your own social channels (Twitter <https://twitter.com/Wikimedia>, Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/wikimediafoundation/>, and Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/wikimediafoundation/>) using #WikiHerStory this week and through March 31st. As part of the initiative, we are also launching Wikimedia’s new Instagram channel @wikimediafoundation <https://www.instagram.com/wikimediafoundation/> - please give us a follow! We will be posting throughout March, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
