Our Transition to Membership

Send Your Membership Dues
We are committed to accessibility and equity. As a member, you choose an amount that works for you or your family, along a sliding scale. ($2-$40/month or $24-480/year).
Dues Waiver
We know that the minimum of $2/month or $24/year can still be a hardship for many, and no one will be turned away from membership because of financial hardship.
