Advocating for free knowledge
Beyond our programmatic activities, Wikimedia CH advocates for issues such as copyright and net neutrality – values that are important to us as part of the Wikimedia Movement. We will continue to align ourselves with the political direction and stance of the Wikimedia Foundation and other chapters.
