The RIT Libraries' annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is back! Join RIT Libraries; the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program; the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Resource Center; and PRISM for this year's Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Edit for Equity! The goal of this year's event is to boost the inclusion of traditionally underrepresented communities. Take part in writing or editing articles about notable women, LGBTQIA+ communities and people, or any related topic.

Training, resources, and support will be available to empower participants to edit Wikipedia. No experience is necessary. Refreshments will be provided.

People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome. Come for half an hour or stay as long as you would like! Access services are available by request at http://myaccess.rit.edu.
