Hi everyone,
It is with immense excitement and pride that we announce the WMF Board
of Trustees’ approval of the Affiliations Committee recommendation to
formally recognize Wiki Movimento Brasil as a Wikimedia Chapter, to be
known as Wikimedia Brasileffective Jan 31, 2025. This recognition
marks a significant milestone in their journey, reflecting their
unwavering dedication, collective efforts, and commitment to advancing
the Wikimedia mission in Brazil.
The path to becoming recognized as a Wikimedia Foundation Chapter is a
complex process that takes significant time and collective effort.
Wikimedia Brasil has a strong history of fostering community
engagement, promoting free knowledge, and leading impactful
initiatives. Over the years, it has demonstrated:
*
A deep commitment to knowledge equity and community-driven projects.
*
A proven track record of organizing events, advocacy efforts, and
partnerships.
*
A governance structure that ensures inclusivity and long-term
sustainability.
*
The ability to navigate challenges and continue growing as a
resilient and adaptive organization.
As a Chapter, Wikimedia Brasil now operates as a legally recognized
non-profit organization, strengthening its ability to:
*
Build strategic partnerships with institutions, policymakers, and
cultural organizations.
*
Advocate for open knowledge at national and regional levels.
*
Provide leadership and support for the broader Wikimedia community
in Brazil.
With this new status, Wikimedia Brasil is poised to expand its reach,
strengthen its initiatives, and continue empowering communities to
contribute to free knowledge. We celebrate this achievement and look
forward to seeing its continued contributions to the Wikimedia movement.
Please join us in congratulating the members of Wikimedia Brasilon
this significant achievement!
