Feel free to share it with your contacts! WikidataCon is being organized this year by Wikimedia Deutschland and Wiki Movimento Brasil with the theme *"a sustainable future for Wikidata" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikidataCon_2021#WikidataCon_update_-_June_2021>*, which will include discussions around the project's technical infrastructure, data quality, community health and diversity. Besides the program of the conference, the partnership between the affiliates is working on making this remote conference as meaningful as possible for the Wikidata ecosystem, especially for those participants who usually wouldn't be able to attend the conference in person. *Transbordados* is one of the actions designed under this scope to better understand and envision possible paths for the empowered performance of historically marginalized communities in the Wikidata ecosystem. Besides the preconference, the organization team is also working on a grant for Latin American and Caribbean Affiliates <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Latin_America_and_Caribbean_grants> and on the project Reimagining Wikidata from the margins <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Reimagining_Wikidata_from_the_margins>. And don't forget to check out the program of the first day <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_1_-_Main_program> of WikidataCon! Cheers from São Paulo, *Érica Azzellini | User:EAzzellini (WMB)* *Communications Manager | **Wiki Movimento Brasil* *wmnobrasil.org <http://wmnobrasil.org/>*
