|description = Wikipedia is one of the most highly visited websites in the world, but representation of women of color is strikingly low—both in terms of who contributes to the site and the subjects they write about. Many local and national environmental justice women activists are not represented among Wikipedia's many biographies.

Join us to set the record straight, make some friends, and celebrate the activists who have fought to make our urban environments greener. No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; training will be provided.

Did you know that only 15% of contributors to Wikipedia are women?

Did you know that women only appear in just over 20% of all images of human beings on Wikimedia Commons?

Did you know efforts are happening around the world to address the “gender gap” on Wikipedia?
  +

Join the Georgetown community to help close this gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing the representation of underrepresented groups — in both Wikipedia content and contributors — on topics such as women in politics, women in STEM, and women in the arts. There will be hands-on training provided by representatives from Wikimedia DC.

No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.
