Did you know that 40% of internet users, and as many as 70% of younger users have personally experienced harassment online? And more than half of people who reported experiencing harassment also reported decreasing their participation in the Wikimedia community. To ensure Wikipedia's vitality, people of good will need to work together to prevent trolling, harassment, and cyber-bullying from interfering with the common good. The money donated will support the launch of a community health initiative to address harassment and toxic behavior on Wikipedia through the development of tools for volunteer editors and staff to reduce harassment and block harassers. And, will you be more inclined now that there will be more measures to prevent and address online harassment?
