livestream! DONATE TO SUPPORT THE MEMBERSHIP ASSEMBLY To create the conditions for powerful engagement in programs like our Membership Assembly, GGJ prioritizes using our funds for members. We use funds to ensure that our working class membership have their needs met during the program, so they can be fully present to lead politically. Operations are an opportunity for us to embody and practice the values we are fighting for. We cover all the costs of what it takes to participate, such as travel, lodging, meals, interpretation and translation, childcare, healers and an on-call Nurse Practitioner, to support wellness, high quality masks, and COVID antigen tests.
Participants in the Membership Assembly are raising funds to support these costs. Member crowdfunding pages are being set-up as we speak! Make your own donation today — each gift will be attributed to member fundraising goals! If you are a member delegation looking to start your fundraising, please set up your fundraising page.
Thank you and looking forward to seeing you online and in the streets of Oakland!
