Membership Fees
Membership is recommended at $5 a month. We are mostly self-funded as we believe in our strength as a community to build the alliance and be self-supporting. Fees go to running our programs and creating awareness. If you are in a place of financial hardship, we have a discounted membership of $2.50 a month, as we believe that financial barriers should not prevent access to support and healing, and we believe it empowers us when we all contribute.
