Wikipedia:Meetup/Connecticut/BIPOC-In-The Built

Schedule
In this week-long virtual event participants will build community while creating new and edit existing Wikipedia pages of BIPOC designers, activists, planners and others whose work is connected to the built environment. After a short introduction held live via Zoom on Monday, February 22, 2021, stay for the kick-off of virtual Edit-a-thon where attendees will participate in training and  begin  editing Wikipedia pages of BIPOC figures who have left their mark on the fields of art, architecture, art history, activism, dance, graphic design, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, and more. The Edit-a-thon will have synchronous and asynchronous components so participants can edit in person and at their convenience. Live editing will take place via Zoom and support will be available by Slack.

No prior experience editing Wikipedia is required. Join us at any of the events or follow along on our dashboard and edit at your leisure!
