Socialist Alternative is an organization of ideas in action. Our political ideas directly affect how we organize and what we say on both a day-to-day and long-term basis. Joining Socialist Alternative means basic agreement with these ideas and a commitment to putting them into action. Before you’re able to join, a current member of Socialist Alternative will contact you for a basic political discussion before your membership request is processed. Please be patient, as an organization that takes no corporate cash, we have limited resources, but we will contact you as soon as we can.

Membership Dues*
All members of Socialist Alternative pay monthly membership dues. Maintaining complete independence from corporate influence means we can rely only on the financial commitment of our members and supporters. If you're ready to start paying dues you can sign up today for an easy and automatic bank account deduction every month. Or, if you're not ready yet you can talk to an SA organizer first to learn more about what it means to be a member of SA.

Monthly Dues Amount*
The fight to fundamentally transform society will take serious dedication to building the socialist movement. We expect all our members to contribute in terms of time, energy and financial means, according to their capacity to do so. Everyone can join on the basis of a serious commitment. The minimum financial contribution is $5 per month. But we aim for our members to think seriously about their commitment. Can you make a contribution comparable to one day's wage or, for better paid workers, two day's wages? This would represent 5 to 10% of your monthly income. We understand that this is a big sacrifice and may not be possible for low-wage workers, students, retirees or the unemployed, but we use this as a general guideline and a high standard that we strive for. Each member sets his or her own monthly contribution based on what he or she can afford and is prepared to commit.
- International Solidarity: add $5/month to assist with workers struggles around the world
