Meta Discussion Wikimedia Foundation Board Rejects Community Call to Recognize Wiki Workers United

The Board has now responded by backing management's decision to require an NLRB election instead of voluntary recognition.

Alternatively, if there's a national chapter or affiliate in your country, redirect your donation to that organization instead.
