Dear friends,
What a joy! The Wikimedia community in Brazil is celebrating the recognition of our affiliate as a chapter. We feel excited and hopeful about this new phase and are happy that it coincides with the official recognition of Wikipedia as a digital public good https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/02/12/wikipedia-recognized-as-a-digital-public-good/ .
I want to thank the global movement for the warm reception of this news about our chapter recognition. We have received countless messages from all corners of the world, and we know that nothing we do is isolated from the global movement's activities. So, more than ever, thank you for everything this incredible movement accomplishes.
Wiki Movimento Brasil—oops, Wikimedia Brasil—maintains a strong commitment to community power. I appreciated the recent note from the Wikimedia Foundation https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/02/13/wikimedia-brasil-becomes-the-newest-wikimedia-chapter/ about our journey within Wikimedia, as it highlights how we continue to attract and retain our greatest asset: Wikimedians! In that note, I also see our evolution from a gathering of geeks for the good to become open-knowledge advocates. The challenges are immense, and Brazil (and the world!) needs us more than ever.
I want to send my deepest gratitude to everyone who helped build this new chapter (pun intended!) with us, and I hope that more and more communities consolidate and strengthen themselves, especially in the Global Majority World. If you ever need us for anything, you can count on us—we will always answer the call of the community!
I also want to thank the Affiliations Committee and the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, as well as the staff involved in the recognition process, for working with us to formalize the chapter agreement. And of course: hugs to everyone in the community!

Hi everyone,
It is with immense excitement and pride that we announce the WMF Board of Trustees’ approval of the Affiliations Committee recommendation to formally recognize Wiki Movimento Brasil as a Wikimedia Chapter, to be known as Wikimedia Brasil effective Jan 31, 2025. This recognition marks a significant milestone in their journey, reflecting their unwavering dedication, collective efforts, and commitment to advancing the Wikimedia mission in Brazil.
The path to becoming recognized as a Wikimedia Foundation Chapter is a complex process that takes significant time and collective effort. Wikimedia Brasil has a strong history of fostering community engagement, promoting free knowledge, and leading impactful initiatives. Over the years, it has demonstrated:
A deep commitment to knowledge equity and community-driven projects.
A proven track record of organizing events, advocacy efforts, and partnerships.
A governance structure that ensures inclusivity and long-term sustainability.
The ability to navigate challenges and continue growing as a resilient and adaptive organization.
As a Chapter, Wikimedia Brasil now operates as a legally recognized non-profit organization, strengthening its ability to:
Build strategic partnerships with institutions, policymakers, and cultural organizations.
Advocate for open knowledge at national and regional levels.
Provide leadership and support for the broader Wikimedia community in Brazil.
With this new status, Wikimedia Brasil is poised to expand its reach, strengthen its initiatives, and continue empowering communities to contribute to free knowledge. We celebrate this achievement and look forward to seeing its continued contributions to the Wikimedia movement.
Please join us in congratulating the members of Wikimedia Brasil on this significant achievement!
Best wishes,
Jeffrey Keefer
