MeFi Global BIPOC Board

The MeFi Global BIPOC Board is a working group of MeFites of Color from around the globe who meet with each other and MetaFilter moderators on a monthly basis. The purpose of this group is to provide a space for members of color to provide input on moderation policies, site feature improvements and collaborate with staff on future priorities for the site in relation to issues of race and ethnicity.

Site moderators will be present at meetings to receive feedback and answer questions as needed and meetings are facilitated by travelingthyme and loup.

A rotating roster will be made available so other MeFites of Color have the opportunity to join the board. This is voluntary and you will receive an honorarium for your time. Feel free to email travelingthyme with any questions!
