Hi everyone, Today, since it's International Human Rights day we’re starting some public promotion of the #WikiForHumanRights campaign, and we would appreciate your help in spreading the word!
On social media this week, we’re highlighting community edit-a-thons and events, facts about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and asking everyone to reflect on the role of human rights in their own lives. We’ll be promoting the campaign throughout December and January, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. If you are interested in sharing the campaign’s messages on social media, please retweet and share from @Wikipedia and @Wikimedia on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. You can also find draft messages, hashtags, and campaign gifs in the “communicate and share the campaign!” section of the campaign page on Meta.[1] If your local community isn’t yet engaged in the campaign, you can learn how to organize and get involved online on the Organize page on Meta.
