Global Advocacy – Giving Free Knowledge a Voice

Global Advocacy directly supports the Movement’s core mission: People cannot freely share in the sum of all knowledge without policies, laws, and regulations that protect their right to do so. The team advocates for policy goals that promote free knowledge globally. Alongside volunteers from Wikimedia Chapters around the world, we engage with governments, civil society, and other stakeholders to protect the free knowledge movement, promote the distribution of freely-licensed content, and expand the public’s ability to participate in knowledge creation.
