Wikimedia DC works with federal, state, and local government agencies to encourage adoption of free knowledge and free data practices, including government-operated cultural institutions. We also work with private organizations who share our goal of access to government data.

Legislative Data Project: Wikimedia DC and the Washington, D.C.-based Cato Institute have been collaborating on improving coverage on Wikipedia and Wikisource of bills proposed before the U.S. Congress, in conjunction with Wikipedia's Legislative Data WikiProject. Cato works to make Congressional data machine readable through its Cato XML structured data project. Cato employees and Wikimedia DC volunteers have worked together to write articles on pending bills.
