Wikimedia is a grassroots movement, which means that those who are a part of it can directly influence the allocation of funds, strategic planning, and the direction of the movement in the next thirty years. On top of this, all activities and programs developed within Wikimedia communities take place only due to the genuine interest of those communities, and not due to any mandate or external instruction.
With this graphic, we strived for one thing: that different community members could see their work represented, and could understand what other actors could be a part of this, even though they haven’t met them yet in their local context. medium
