+There are two requirements for becoming a member:

+. Pay monthly dues reasonable for your means. The standard recommendation is $60, but no one is turned away for lack of resources; work-trade arrangements can also be made for those unable to afford dues, or those who refuse to engage in the monetary system. To make membership donations, you can sign up on our [https://backers.sudoroom.org/ membership portal] to pay via bank cards. If you prefer to pay via cash check or cryptocurrency, there is no automated system set up for that so an arrangement has to be made.
