I decided to cancel my recurring donation, citing these actions as why.

Here’s the email I wrote:

I would like to cancel my recurring donation in response to Wikimedia’s decision to fire Brooke Vibber and the Community Tech team. I love Wikipedia, but I have concerns around the anti-union and anti-community actions that are happening under the current leadership. I will not in good conscience continue to support a “nonprofit” organization that is following the big tech/Silicon Valley anti-labor playbook.

1. The type of change you would like to make to your donation - cancel
2. The email address that was used when the donation was made - [redacted]
3. The full name used - [redacted]
4. The amount and currency of the donation - $20 USD recurring monthly

I hope the Wikimedia Foundation rethinks its approach to the community and its workers, and establishes practices of transparency.

Thank you,

Not that I think my $240/year is going to make or break them, but maybe if they hear this from other donors they’ll rethink their choices.

Wait for the editors to strike and then make shitty edits
