| Mission | Whose Knowledge? is a global multilingual campaign to center on the internet the histories, knowledges, leadership, design, and imaginations of the minoritised majority of the world - minoritized and marginalized by historical and ongoing structures of power and privilege. We practice as a feminist anti-oppressions collective striving towards shared liberations through knowledge justice, led by Black and brown women and trans folks from and in the communities and movements we serve, particularly of the Global South and Global Majority. | MissionDesc |

| Desc | Honoring Our Guardians - Activities 2023 Through our Honouring Our Guardians program, the Guardians have been meeting online regularly throughout 2023 as a bilingual group across multiple time zones; English/Brazilian Portuguese (with simultaneous interpretation) with the Guardians from the Yomba Valley, Turtle Island (United States), the Great Ocean States of the Pacific (Fiji and Aotearoa/New Zealand), and the (Brazilian) Amazon. The space grew out of the need to specifically have Indigenous women from across the world meet to reflect on knowledge and climate justice, from their own place-based work, but also in collective solidarity. We also began to explore the intersections of this work with digital justice, including the possibilities of Indigenous leadership in an ecologically sound internet. In September 2023, we gathered with Indigenous women from the Pacific Islands and the Brazilian Amazon to reflect on the program, and join the III Indigenous Women's March: Women Biomes in Defense of Biodiversity through Ancestral Roots. The march gathered over 8,000 women from the 247 Indigenous peoples in Brazil, as well as international allies. We were in solidarity with our Brazilian partners ANMIGA, the National Articulation of Ancestral Warriors Women against the Marco Temporal bill, which put Indigenous peoples and territories at risk and has since been vetoed. In the III Indigenous Women's March, we documented the presence of Indigenous womxn for the #VisibleWikiWomen campaign. As a result, important articles have images now, like the biographies of Mnica Chuji Gualinga and Jannie Lasimbang. We are now working on a soundscape as a multimodal reflection and learnings from the convening, and a production of a childrens book. | Desc |

| Desc | Liberatory Archives and Memory (formerly Whose Digital Archives) - Activities 2023 We welcomed Sally Al-Haq to our team as a co-lead for our program Liberatory Archives and Memory (LAM). LAM is a broad container for reimagining the archive and sites of memory as powerful spaces and acts of resistance, healing, and transformation. It includes the Whose (Digital) Archives? initiative in the United Kingdom and our work globally. Central to the program are the infrastructures of (liberatory) archives and memory in imagining alternatives to Big Knowledge (archives, museums, libraries and other memory institutions such as academic and publishing) and their infrastructures. We have been building a network of community archivists and historians across the Global Majority, mapping connections in different contexts. In collaboration with Shubra Archives in Cairo, we presented an introductory session on Liberatory Archives in Arabic. We are expanding our advisory circle for archives globally through exploratory conversations with community-led initiatives across Global Majority World, and we are connecting with a constellation of foundational scholars in the Liberatory Archives field. We organized 2 learning circles Re-imagining the Public Domain. We convened a group of 35 participants with a diverse range of experiences and expertise: activists, community organizers, tech-builders, wikimedians, and other allies - coming together to reimagine new possibilities for a more just and equitable Public Domain. Our learning circles were held online in Spanish, English and Bengali languages, with interpretation and documentation support. We also participated in different critical spaces, such as the Leipzig conference on One Day the Future Has Died. Impossible Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence; Creative Commons roundtable on Open Culture in Lisbon; Towards a Treaty for the Public Domain workshop organized by Communia; Cast in Stone Summer School, Paris, among others. | Desc |

| Desc | Language Justice (formerly State of the Internets Languages) -Activities 2023 In celebration of the International Mother Language Day, we published the International Sign (IS) translation of the State of the Internet's Languages (STIL) summary report on February 21st, 2023. It comprises a series of 19 short videos, signaled by deaf interpreters, researchers, advocates for sign language, and translators Laura Lesmana Wijaya and Razaq Fakir, from Southeast Asia and Africa respectively. The videos are hosted in the STIL website and, as part of our open knowledge practices, they are also available for download via archive.org. As part of the STIL report, the videos are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. We balance openness of content with the dignity and security of marginalized communities, and we chose this license because the STIL report includes work from and with communities who have historically seen their knowledge exploited by others. This is our way to respect all that they generously shared with us and the world. We started two research-in-action processes to look at critical language justice issues online: "Accessibility/Languages/Tech: Advancing language justice for persons with visual disabilities" is a research-in-action that bridges the gap between language justice and disability rightsparticularly from the South Asian perspectivewhile it brings to the front the intersections of disability, gender, colonialism, and class. Secondly, our research-in-action process "Advocacy, practice and sovereign language tech for language justice" is about centering community values in designing language technologies, more precisely, Automatic Speech Recognition systems and Automatic translation of content for Wikipedia, in African languages Amharic and Tigrinya. Success for us is embedded in the process of collective work with our communities.This year through the Language Justice work, we have centered and amplified voices from people from the Global Majority, honoring their multiple forms and systems of knowledge. Critically, we have affirmed and advocated for greater leadership of disability rights activists in language justice and internet access/accessibility. We have succeeded in modeling an intersectional approach to language, disability rights and justice that we trust will be adopted by different communities, movements, and sectors committed to human rights, social justice, and internet freedoms. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Liberatory Archives and Memory (formerly Whose Digital Archives) - Activities 2023 We welcomed Sally Al-Haq to our team as a co-lead for our program Liberatory Archives and Memory (LAM). LAM is a broad container for reimagining the archive and sites of memory as powerful spaces and acts of resistance, healing, and transformation. It includes the Whose (Digital) Archives? initiative in the United Kingdom and our work globally. Central to the program are the infrastructures of (liberatory) archives and memory in imagining alternatives to Big Knowledge (archives, museums, libraries and other memory institutions such as academic and publishing) and their infrastructures. We have been building a network of community archivists and historians across the Global Majority, mapping connections in different contexts. In collaboration with Shubra Archives in Cairo, we presented an introductory session on Liberatory Archives in Arabic. We are expanding our advisory circle for archives globally through exploratory conversations with community-led initiatives across Global Majority World, and we are connecting with a constellation of foundational scholars in the Liberatory Archives field. We organized 2 learning circles Re-imagining the Public Domain. We convened a group of 35 participants with a diverse range of experiences and expertise: activists, community organizers, tech-builders, wikimedians, and other allies - coming together to reimagine new possibilities for a more just and equitable Public Domain. Our learning circles were held online in Spanish, English and Bengali languages, with interpretation and documentation support. We also participated in different critical spaces, such as the Leipzig conference on One Day the Future Has Died. Impossible Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence; Creative Commons roundtable on Open Culture in Lisbon; Towards a Treaty for the Public Domain workshop organized by Communia; Cast in Stone Summer School, Paris, among others. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Radical Communications - Activities 2023 The Language Justice (from the early conversations that led to the State of the Internets Languages report) and Decolonizing the Internet - East Africa podcast series were launched this year, and are available on the Whose Voices? podcast website. Weve also uploaded transcripts to WikiSource, with the support of volunteers. Both reports were published last year (STIL in February, and DTI-EA in November), and now we explore in more multimodal ways the in-depth conversations held in our convenings and learning spaces. We supported the Learning Circle methodologies and how they materialized in the Structured Data conversation, ahead of Wikimania in Singapore, and in two discussions about Public Domain that took place virtually ahead of a convening in Berlin. We created a new resource type on our website to include the reading lists put together by our team. The first two have been added: A deep dive into Decolonizing Structured Data and a series of resources on what would be a plural public domain. We designed two printing materials, available on WikiCommons: our new stickers for the Liberatory Archives and Memory program and the new Who we are flyer, produced in English and Spanish ahead of the GLAM Wiki conference in Uruguay. In an effort to keep consistency in one of our more direct channels with communities, we published 7 newsletters this year so far. We experimented with multilinguality, bringing text in languages like Spanish and Portuguese, and created the new section Learning is our love language, where we share our internet recommendations. We coordinated statements in solidarity with Zambian organization Sistah Sistah in the context of rising queerphobic violence and legislation in Zambia and East Africa, and held a panel discussion with activists about the Tigrayan genocide. These statements show our politics in practice. We published 8 blog posts this year so far. These include our journeys to different tech and knowledge justice convenings, our theorizing about artificial intelligence and Wikidata, and our activities at Wikimania Singapore. We published a mini-zine based on the Decolonizing Structured Data report from 2021. Throughout the year, we joined efforts with the team to create feminist corners at different conferences and invited feminist photographers to document women and non-binary individuals in these spaces. We hope to consolidate more of the methodology and the learnings on feminist photography and consent practices for next year. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Decolonizing the Internet: Convenings on decolonizing structured data/Wikidata, and community support. |
