As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

Donating to the Wikimedia Foundation is great. Becoming a volunteer editor is even better.
Here are resources for maintaining your personal security as an editor:

* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Legal/Community_Resilience_and_Sustainability/Human_Rights/Digital_Security_Resources
I publicly connect my Wikipedia account to my IRL identity, but this is NOT required.
