The goal of this vote is to extend the privilege of voting to all members, regardless of their membership tier. This will not change the dues of each tier, nor change the membership tier or status of any existing members. Full Members still have exclusive access to storage lockers at the physical workspace, membership pricing for classes hosted at Pumping Station: One, and the ability to serve as an officer or director if elected.
$30 per month is a big additional expense for those who are in financially precarious positions. Statistically, it creates a voting body based on the minority of the members, and represents a group that has more disposable income than those who do not vote. Many of our members who contribute the most to the space cannot themselves vote, nor propose a vote for the things they need. At our core, we should value talent and resourcefulness over wealth; and should speak with a voice that represents our economic diversity.
