Wikimedia Foundation ("WMF") Community Health Legal Defense Program pomáhá členům komunity najít a nebo zaplatit právního poradce ve vzácných případech, kdy jejich práce s hnutím Wikimedia vedla k dlouhodobému nebo vážnému obtěžování.

Ačkoli je obtěžování této závažnosti neobvyklé, tento program si klade za cíl od něj dále odrazovat tím, že zajistí, aby osoby, které jsou mu vystaveny, měly pomoc při výběru kvalifikovaného právníka a při úhradě nákladů na právní žalobu na ochranu před obtěžovatelem, i když by takové náklady jsou obvykle nad jejich možnosti. Vzhledem k tomu, že finanční prostředky na tento program jsou omezené, musíme jej vyhradit pro nejzávažnější případy.

Způsobilost

Aby se členové komunity kvalifikovali do programu, musí splňovat následující podmínky:

  1. Zapojte se do podpory projektů Wikimedie. Tuto podporu lze demonstrovat různými způsoby, mimo jiné včetně: Být v administrativní roli, účastnit se grantového procesu Wikimedia Foundation nebo být redaktorem projektů.
  2. Staňte se terčem vážného nebo trvalého obtěžování, doxxingu, kybernetických útoků nebo aktivit podobné závažnosti v důsledku jejich práce s hnutím Wikimedia.
  3. Dodrželi Podmínky použití, Zásady ochrany osobních údajů a všechny relevantní zásady komunity nebo WMF.

Společnost WMF na základě vlastního uvážení učiní konečné rozhodnutí o způsobilosti a může zvážit jakékoli další relevantní skutečnosti nebo okolnosti, včetně dostupnosti a účinnosti právních postupů. Rozhodnutí, že nejsme schopni pomoci, nemá naznačovat, že vaše zkušenost není znepokojující, ale pouze k posouzení naší schopnosti a zdrojů pomoci v kontextu nejvyšší potřeby. I když nemáte nárok na podporu WMF prostřednictvím tohoto programu, můžete mít nárok na pomoc od jiných organizací, které podporují lidi s právními poplatky.

Jak požádat o pomoc

If you are a community member who has faced prolonged or severe harassment that may qualify you for this program, please feel free to contact legal@wikimedia.org. Because it can be difficult to preserve evidence, you should act quickly if you are the target of such harassment.

After WMF has all the relevant information, the WMF legal team will consider, on a case-by-case basis, whether WMF can assist and what form that assistance might take. Assistance may include, at WMF's sole discretion, helping to find a lawyer particularly knowledgeable about Wikimedia projects or relevant, country-specific laws; providing funds for some or all of the legal fees and costs; or both. You should know, however, that WMF cannot act as your lawyer for reasons of legal ethics (as explained below).

This assistance will not include payment of fines or damages (including any award of attorney's fees), and WMF will have discretion over whether the program pays for a particular lawyer.

Please note that this program may be supplementary to other Wikimedia approaches to harassment, but does not replace them. To explore options to prevent harassment from other users, including blocks and bans, you will need to work with local administrators or engage with policy projects or reach out to the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team, ca@wikimedia.org.

Things to know about the program

  1. Global and all projects and languages. The Community Health Legal Defense Program is intended to help community members in any country or jurisdiction and includes covered actions taken on any Wikimedia project, in any language. Local laws and regulations may play a role in the administration of any assistance.
  2. Funding is limited. This program will start with a set amount of earmarked funds, and, if those funds are ever exhausted, a decision will be made by WMF whether to renew the program.
  3. The program is subject to WMF discretion. At its sole discretion, WMF will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to provide assistance. No one should rely on the receipt of assistance or take any action with the expectation of receiving such assistance.
  4. No WMF attorney-client relationship. For legal and ethical reasons, WMF cannot create an attorney-client relationship with community members, and funds provided through this program do not establish any attorney-client or other confidential relationship. On the other hand, if the Community Health Legal Defense Program provides funds for a lawyer, that lawyer may enjoy an attorney-client or otherwise confidential relationship with the community member as may be recognized or allowed under local laws.
  5. We do not control your actions. Assistance from this program does not give WMF any right or ability to control the activities of any community member. Assistance does not create any agency, employee, contractor, or other legal relationship with WMF. In providing assistance, WMF does not necessarily endorse any activity undertaken by a community member in a movement role or otherwise before or after receipt of assistance.
  6. We may change the Community Health Legal Defense Program. As we monitor the effectiveness of the program and ensure flexibility in its administration, we may need, from time to time, and at our sole discretion, to make changes to the Community Health Legal Defense Program, including possible termination of the program if necessary. Depending on program needs, we retain the right to make these changes at any time, for any reason, without notice.

Conclusion

The hard work and dedication of Wikimedia community members is what keeps the Wikimedia projects running. Every community member should feel safe while working on Wikimedia projects. Although we hope never to have to use this program, the Foundation believes that harassment and intimidation of community members is not acceptable behavior and the Foundation will do its best to collaborate with our communities in fighting back.
