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, as we believe that financial barriers should not prevent access to support and healing, and we believe it empowers us when we all contribute. Support Circles are free and donation based.
