WHAT MEMBERSHIP GETS YOU

Four Things That Start the Day You Join

Membership is not a subscription to a newsletter. It is a working group assignment, if you want one, and early access to everything else.
01

Dates Before They Are Public

Event dates, venues, and forum schedules go to members by email before they appear on the site.

02

A Working Group

Research, media, events, or outreach. Pick the one that fits your evening. No obligation to take one.

03

The Monthly Update

What is on the next agenda, what we published, and any date that requires you to show up.

04

A Vote on What We Cover

Members set the research priorities. The topic that wins the monthly poll gets a full write-up.

All four are promises made elsewhere on the site — the Events page says members get dates first, the News page promises the monthly update, the homepage poll promises members decide research priorities. This page is where those promises get collected. If any one of them is not real, cut it here and there.

WHERE YOU FIT

Four Groups, Four Different Asks

You do not have to pick one on the form. But knowing which way you lean helps us route you to the person who runs it.

01

02

Media & Podcast

Event based Runs cameras at forums, uploads recordings whole, and books podcast guests. Good fit if you own a tripod or can learn one.

03

Events & Forums

Seasonal, heaviest pre-election Books halls, invites candidates, collects resident questions, and runs the room on the night. Good fit if you are organized and unbothered by a crowd.

03

Outreach & Faith

Flexible Distributes voter guides, staffs tables at community events, and coordinates with local churches. Good fit if you already know half the county.
