Monday, June 17, 10 am Pacific / 1 pm Eastern
As LGBTQ+ people continue to fight for the right to express themselves freely around the world, it’s as important as ever to document their stories for present and future generations – which is exactly what thousands of LGBTQ+ people, scholars, students, and other allies are doing on Wikipedia. Join us online to learn about this crucial work and how you can contribute to the preservation of LGBTQ+ history on the world’s free encyclopedia.
