To Our Valued DEIB Working Group Members Who Can't Attend In Person

We understand that not everyone can join our upcoming session during the WordPress Community Summit 2023 in person, but your voice and perspective are still incredibly important to us. The strength of our group lies in the diversity of experiences, ideas, and insights from each member.

If you can't be with us in person, we still want to hear from you! Please feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and resources on our Slack channel #deib-working-group.

Preferably, you can contribute directly to this GitHub issue by commenting, where we'll be documenting our discussions and action items. Your contributions there will be just as impactful.
