Anyone For Everyone

Anyone for Everyone is a campaign to encourage and guide internet users to contribute more to the Wikimedia projects in 2020. The campaign aims to encourage 20 actions/activities that anyone could do on Wikimedia projects for the benefit of everyone. For each of these actions/activities, the campaign will give a brief introduction on what the action is, how the action can be carried out, feature testimonies by contributors and user beneficiaries to show how impactful these actions have been over the years.

Anyone should be able to pick up one of the 19 actions and act towards Wikimedia's mission to empower and engage people [, everyone] around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.
