I decided to cancel my recurring donation, citing these actions as why.

Here’s the email I wrote:

I would like to cancel my recurring donation in response to Wikimedia’s decision to fire Brooke Vibber and the Community Tech team. I love Wikipedia, but I have concerns around the anti-union and anti-community actions that are happening under the current leadership. I will not in good conscience continue to support a “nonprofit” organization that is following the big tech/Silicon Valley anti-labor playbook.

1. The type of change you would like to make to your donation - cancel
2. The email address that was used when the donation was made - [redacted]
3. The full name used - [redacted]
4. The amount and currency of the donation - $20 USD recurring monthly

I hope the Wikimedia Foundation rethinks its approach to the community and its workers, and establishes practices of transparency.

Thank you,

Not that I think my $240/year is going to make or break them, but maybe if they hear this from other donors they’ll rethink their choices.
