Members agree to our Basis of Unity and the principles of our political agreements, and take on work to support the functioning of Red Braid. While members are encouraged to be more active, the minimum requirement of membership is to contribute one organizational task to our group per month.
Members are expected to actively engage in collective communication and decision making processes, including attending or calling in to meetings, contributing to online discussions, and giving feedback to campaign bottomliners. Important decisions are made at bi-weekly member meetings through a consensus process.
Steps to Membership
If you are interested in joining Red Braid, the first step is to come out to an upcoming event or action to meet members and get involved in our campaign work.
We also suggest that you look through our Basis of Unity, Accountability Process, and Position Statements to get a feel for our politics. Also check out The Volcano, a grassroots newspaper affiliated with Red Braid.
Next, talk to an organizer or email organize@stopdisplacement.ca to let us know you’re interested. We will reply with next steps. If you have not been involved in our campaigns or events, we will ask you to get involved in our work first, in order to give us a chance to get to know you, and for you to get to know us.
Once we have connected, two members of Red Braid will meet with you to talk about our history and political vision, how you’d like to be involved, what your interests are, and answer any questions you have about us. The two members who met with you will report back to the Red Braid membership, which will make a decision about your application.
