Help spread the word.
The plea for unity seems like a no-brainer thing. But it’s not.
We need all help we can get. We have to try and secure a more robust future for the WordPress open source project.
How to help
When you able to, please invite your peer WordPress Workers, concerned users, business owners, fellow FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) workers to co-sign the letter (publicly or anonymously).
Please keep talking about our joint-future and/or boost our call for unity. We do not need to be the next news cycle, we pass on the next incident-of-the day, we’re in this for the long run.

- no coup, no personal attacks, no inflammatory language

Please do not get your contributor account deactivated because of this. We do not want to contribute to any braindrain happening.
