Глобальное заступничество
The Global Advocacy team helps the Foundation and affiliates protect the free knowledge movement through public policy advocacy. Public policy advocacy refers to any work to shape a legal environment (including national and international law), trade agreements, human rights frameworks, and other regulations and norms set by governments and lawmakers.
The simple act of sharing knowledge freely online is radical and challenging in many contexts, and can be threatened by weak or hostile policy environments. This is why the Foundation and broader community engage in advocacy and public policy work. We work alongside the Wikimedia community because policy change is most successful when informed by those who are most directly impacted and best understand their local context. Together, we stand for policies that support and protect the Wikimedia model, its people, and its values.

Как мы работаем
Команда глобального заступничества (Global Advocacy team) помогает Фонду и партнёрским организациям защищать движение за свободные знания посредством адвокации и публикации общих принципов (public policy).
Why the Wikimedia movement needs public policy advocacy - The simple act of sharing knowledge freely online is radical and challenging in many contexts, and can be threatened by weak or hostile policy environments. This is why the Foundation and broader community engage in advocacy and public policy work. We work alongside the Wikimedia community because policy change is most successful when informed by those who are most directly impacted and best understand their local context. Together, we stand for policies that support and protect the Wikimedia model, its people, and its values.
Our focus - Our mandate is to protect the people in the free knowledge movement, the community-led model of Wikimedia projects, and the values of the movement.
- To protect the community-governed model, we take action on policies related to access to knowledge and free expression.
- To protect the people in our community, we advocate for privacy rights and against mass surveillance.
- To protect the values of our movement, we lead by example by prioritizing human rights and countering disinformation.
Topics we're working on right now include:
- Foundation-wide Human Rights Policy
- EU Digital Services Act
- Online Safety bills
- Online censorship during times of conflict
- U.S. Copyright Reform
