Women Do News sponsored its first edit-a-thon in 2019 in New York City with support from Take The Lead. Since then, we have trained writers and editors through coaching and events, partnering with allies at universities and journalism organizations.

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 🙂
