|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.

|description = Wikimedia DC will join WMF Policy experts on an expedition to see the Supreme Court hearing of ''Moody v. NetChoice, LLC'' and ''NetChoice v. Paxton'' cases. They concern moderation of content by online platforms as governed by Section 230. The cases will be heard from 10 AM to noon, one hour each. We believe that we can hear a bit of the session if we line up very early. If you can be in line by 5:30am please join us. It'll be cold and there are no easily available bathrooms so ... prepare as well as possible.
|description = Join us for an edit-a-thon focused on using the newspaper sources available through the Library of Congress's Chronicling America database. Participants will learn about the Library of Congress's on-line public domain newspaper resources. Presenters will include Chronicling America staff and National Digital Newspaper Project members. Wikimedia DC's project manager for the Summer of Monuments campaign will demonstrate how Chronicling America can be used to tell the stories of America's National Register of Historic Places.
