Participation:
An active member of Rizoma Collective will have voting rights at general membership pláticas(meetings). Active membership is defined as someone who
has attended one (1) general plática per quarter,
volunteered one (1) day per quarter,
and attended one (1) event (if applicable) per quarter.
Volunteering will include, but not be limited to canvassing, outreach, providing services (i.e graphic design, sponsoring purchases of materials, donations of food for events), fundraising, and phone banking. The Raices Team will be required to track all other volunteer contributions via an electronic membership tracker.
30-day grace period: Any individual who falls into an inactive status will be allowed 30 days to fulfill any responsibilities they may have missed in the prior quarter. Doing so will maintain their active membership status.
Monetary:
Membership dues are collected from members once per month or one-time payment via our online donation portal (www.rizomacollective.com). Membership dues amount is decided by the member based on their financial ability. Membership dues are mandatory as we want to ensure we have 100% buy-in (buy-in can be as low as $1.00 a month). Individuals are eligible to be exempt from monetary support upon approval from the Raices Team. Solely paying dues will not guarantee a member’s right to vote or active status within the collective.
Skill Set:
Once approved by the Raices Team, individuals who contribute a needed skill set (ex. graphic design, DJ, photographer, etc.) can be exempt from time and/or monetary requirements, if needed.
