Monthly Flash Edit - all welcome!

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82432161756Interested in getting involved with Women Do News? Our monthly flash edits are the place to start!
We meet once a month on Zoom to work on articles, update each other on how our Wiki writing has been going, and just generally check in. Flash edits are a very low-key place to connect with other Wiki volunteers and trouble-shoot the writing and editing process. Feel free to bring a beverage or a snack and come hang out 🙂
