Why member dues?
Member dues support network activities—like member engagement, research, education, and more—and represent a commitment to a shared vision for narrative power. When we pay dues, we recognize that each of us has a role to play in our community. And if each of us put a little in, we all get a lot out. Dues also increase the level of responsibility the organization has to its members. RadComms has dues tiers. Since we don’t want cost to ever be an obstacle to joining our community, we have a dues waiver available by request.
Why have community guidelines?
Safety, security, and integrity requires careful cultivation. RadComms’ approach involves an intentional vetting process and community agreements and guidelines. We’re constantly strengthening this process to combat the long and storied history of left and progressive spaces being co-opted and divided by oppositional forces, detractors, and those not values-aligned and because our network includes populations targeted by those forces. We have used the process to vet members for admission into the Network since 2016 for three reasons: To keep our members safe from our opposition and detractors eager to co-opt our movement spaces or stir divisions within them.
To ensure our consideration of prospective members is equitable. Rather than assessing applicants exclusively on credentials, we seek members who approach the group with a strong sense of mutuality and a vision for what they want to give and receive. To assess whether there is values-based alignment on the issues and how we engage with one another. As narrative power builders, we’re not just trying to build a bigger we: we are trying to build a bigger, safer, and stronger we. Community agreements, guidelines, and mutual accountability help keep our movements safe and strong as they grow.
