STAY INFORMED

Anyone who believes in our mission, shares our values, and cares about Concord can be a member of CCA. Residents of Concord can become voting members, and anyone else can become a supporting member. While this seems like a big difference, it’s not. At CCA, we only vote when necessary (for example, during Steering Committee Elections or Endorsement meetings) so supporting members can still participate in many CCA decisions. Supporting members can also participate in all events and activities.

Membership Dues

A yearly membership fee is required to be a voting member in good standing. Collecting membership dues allows CCA to create a semi-steady operating budget so we can use tools to organize, grow our work, and serve our community in between public donations.

However, it is important to us that CCA remains an accessible organizing space for our community regardless of your financial situation. Members experiencing financial hardship may have their dues deemed met through a contribution of time or through sponsorship by another member.

Small Businesses

If you own a small business in Concord but are not a resident, please join CCA using your business address and send us a message to let us know. CCA doesn’t have organizational memberships, so you are joining as an individual. We welcome small Concord business owners who share our vision, values, and commitment to Concord.

Membership Meetings

CCA members meet on the 4th Thursday of each month. Once you join CCA, you will start receiving email reminders with the agenda and the Zoom link or location for the meeting. If you have something you’d like to discuss at the meeting, just email us or let us know via Slack.

Slack

While we only meet once a month, we organize regularly in our online spaces. While this can include email and social media, it primarily includes communication through Slack. Once you become a member, you will receive an invite to join CCA Slack at the email you used to join. If you need a tutorial, just let us know and we can arrange it.

Contact City Council

Even if you don’t want to be on City Council, you can still help influence their decisions. CCA often organizes letter writing and other campaigns where we need folks like you to get in touch with your council members. When City Council hears from a wide variety of people, it helps them see validity in what we are working towards. We need CCA members and non-members alike to reach out today!

Concord is composed of 5 City Council Districts. You should start by contacting the council member who represents your district (see the map on the right if you’re not sure).

Run for Public Office

We believe that healthy democracy puts the peoples’ interests first. We believe that if civic affairs put the needs and interests of residents first, especially the most marginalized, then the rest of Concord can thrive. One of our fundamental objectives is to find and support candidates for Concord City Council and other local offices who share both these priorities as well as our Mission, Vision, and Values.

We require the candidates we endorse to limit contributions from business interests, to refuse them completely from large corporations, and to actively work against independent expenditures.
