Thank you for your interest in being a Soulardarity member! Memberships are integral to our work. As a member, you can elect the board of directors, participate in committees to direct different aspects of our work, and steer the organization towards our mission of energy democracy in Highland Park and Surrounding Communities. Your membership dues also sustain our operations and help us maintain autonomy and focus on our mission.

Here's some more basics about Soulardarity membership:

DUES: We want Soulardarity to truly represent it's members, and the more we raise from membership donations, the more our priorities will be driven the members directly.

Highland Park Resident dues are $10/year. Non-residents are considered General Members, dues are $25/year. Partner Organization Membership Levels (based on residency):

  • Local Org (located in Highland Park, Detroit or Hamtramck)- $100
  • Regional Orgs/Affiliates (located in Michigan)- $150
  • National/Global Supporters (located outside of Michigan)- $250

Members are encouraged to become Sustaining Donors and can make monthly contributions at a level that is affordable for them.

VOLUNTEERISM: Soulardarity membership is about collective work and responsibility. "Many Hands Make Light Work" If we all pull a little weight, we can do exponentially greater work. Members are encouraged to give a little time and talent every month to help our programs, projects, and organizing move forward.

EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL: Once annually, a member renewal reminder will be sent out to all lapsed (formerly active) members. At the time of any decision or benefit which applies to eligible members, the following will be assessed to determine eligibility:

    Taking this credit card with you on vacation is a smart option because it offers you more security while travelling overseas, along with a virtual card number and replacement cards. Dealer fees are not necessary for this.

    Please take a time to fill out the survey if you have recently visited a Stop & Shop. Tell us what you thought of the selection, personnel, operations, and anything else that came to mind as you were leaving.
