COMING in 2022 - ACTION ALERTS - We are considering ways to get a text-messaging number or list-serve just for urgent matters - especially useful for folks with phones but no regular email access.  The Board needs a volunteer to help with this and to update several parts of our website. Get in touch if you are interested to learn more.

DONATIONS - We are fully self-supporting at this time, please give as you can. 

DUES/MEMBERSHIP - Members are supporters who contribute at least $35 a year ($15 if low-income). That entitles you to run for, nominate, and vote for the Board of Directors, and other matters in our bylaws. Voting Members get priority emails directly from the Executive Committee.
