Artists Heather Hart from Black Lunch Table (BLT), Sara Clugage from Art+Feminism and members of Wikimedia NYC will host a "Truth-a-Thon" as part of the Truth Be Told program series for the exhibition Hold These Truths with No Longer Empty. Workshop leaders will lead a training and will be available throughout the event to guide participants on the editing process for articles of their choosing. Come learn about the work of these collectives and how to transform public discourse in real time! Bring your laptop and a friend.

• Bring your laptop: Editing Wikipedia is easier with a keyboard.
• Bring a published source to cite: Suggested books and papers will be available at the event. If you like, bring an academic paper or other reliable source of information to cite, to support your addition to Wikipedia. You will use Wikipedia to distribute information from this source. Try to bring the highest quality most reputable source you can find for the information.
• Create a Wikipedia account, if you do not have one already.
• If you wish, take Wikipedia's own 30-minute online training and tour at The Wikipedia Adventure.

With all this, you can take maximum advantage.
