One of the best ways you can engage with Wikipedia as a feminist is to learn the policies and teach them to others.
This two-hour session will prepare facilitators and volunteers who plan to participate in the second annual Art+Feminism edit-a-thon weekend, which includes the 2015 Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at LACMA and 5 other Southern California meetups, at Whittier College, Cal-Poly Pomona, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Irvine.
You do not need to be an experienced Wikipedian in order to volunteer, but you DO need to be ready to learn so that you can circulate and help the lead facilitators offer support to new users at the edit-a-thons. Pay it forward and help bridge that gender gap with each new editor we train.
Don’t forget to bring your laptop + power adapter!
