Hi Lilli and all, Thank you so much for sharing this information about the alliance work WMDE does. It's a great model for how Wikimedia affiliates can influence national policy discussions (and then at a regional level) by consistently working with the same coalition.
Housekeeping note: Please help us consolidate all of these public policy resources! *We have a designated category <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_Knowledge_Advocacy> on Wikimedia Commons* for all movement members to use for any public policy advocacy materials. The goal is to create a one-stop-shop for policy resources.
