ORG pledge matures
Posted by Suw Charman in ORG News, Organising ORG at November 29th, 2005
The Open Rights Group membership pledge has finally matured, just in time for our inaugural event tonight and, coincidentally, just as we are about to get our membership database online for you to join up! The pledge topped out with 1002 signatories, but if you haven’t signed up already, this doesn’t mean that you’re too late - you can still sign the pledge and still get involved with supporting ORG. I’ll post more info on exactly how to become a real, proper member as soon as I have it. Meantime, thanks to everyone who has pledged, and congratulations to everyone involved in promoting and supporting ORG in its first, fledgeling phase.

I balked at the pledge! I know £96 spread over 12 months may not be a lot to most folks, but given my own circumstances, well - I balked. I did look for a way to give a one off (smaller) donation but couldn’t spot one. I would do so in the future if it was linked to some form of, say, associate membership.

Harry, don’t worry, it doesn’t come to £96: £5 per month comes to £60, but there will be concessions etc., and hopefully something to suit most pockets. It’s all being thrashed out right now.
Money is obviously a great enabler, but we certainly don’t want individuals’ financial circumstances to dictate ability to participate. Keep an eye on the website over the next few days for more info.
