Abstract (please use no less than 300 words to describe your proposal)
The Wikimedia Foundation has created a new department: Legal and Community Advocacy. What does this mean? What is the role of this department in supporting the projects, and how will it work? The "legal" bit is simple, but "community advocacy" is as clear as mud. Join Philippe Beaudette, Maggie Dennis, and Geoff Brigham to discuss.
