Molly Stark Dean is a New York–based journalist and educator involved with Women Do News, and is on the Board of Directors for Wikimedia New York City.

I wrote a poem about my love for Wikipedia.

First, they came for the politicians

And I did not speak out

Because I do not belong to a party

Then they came for disabled journalists

And I did not speak out

Because my disability is invisible

Then they came for the teachers

And I did not speak out

Because I was not smart enough

Then they came for the white women

And I did not speak out

Because newsrooms would notice

Then they came for Wikipedia

And I yelled out

Because Wikimedians are my people

Then they tried to come for me

And there was no one left to recruit

To come for my community
