JOIN THE FIGHT. BECOME A MEMBER.
A NEW CHAPTER OF YUCCA'S MEMBERSHIP
The future we're fighting for won't come through isolation, division, or awareness and outrage alone. It will be won when we link arms across movements, generations, and struggles to build collective power together.
​
That's why, earlier this year, YUCCA launched a brand-new intergenerational membership structure designed to help us move beyond winning individual fights and instead bring young people and community members together to transform and replace the systems shaping our lives.
​
For the first time ever, we're inviting community members ages 18 and over across so-called New Mexico to join us as YUCCA members – and we've created new spaces and pathways specifically designed to help you step into the work alongside us.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE
A YUCCA MEMBER?
YUCCA Members are young people, community members, organizers, and leaders from across so-called New Mexico aligned with our Mission, Vision, and Theory of Change who are committed to building lasting power for transformational change and taking collective action against the systems causing us harm.
​
Membership is about more than contributing to the work of one organization – it's about building capacity for our collective movement while helping to shape our campaigns and strategy alongside a community committed to building a world beyond the systems harming us and the Earth. ​​

YUCCA'S CORE GROUP
Comprised of experienced youth leaders, the Core Group guides the work of our committees.
Our new membership structure is designed to keep youth leadership at the center while recognizing that there's a place for everyone in our movement for change.

​
After attending a We Got Us Community Meeting, you'll continue through an onboarding process led by our staff before joining one of many new Strategy and Tactics Committees where you'll work alongside other YUCCA leaders to shape the future of our collective work – from guiding our No Corporate Control, Anti-Tech Oligarchy, and Environmental Justice Committees to helping to lead our tactics-based work in Creative Resistance, Political Justice, Leadership Development, and more under the guidance of experienced youth leaders from our Core Group.
READY TO TAKE ACTION?
If you're a community member or young person over the age of 18 who's based in so-called New Mexico and searching for an organizing home, we need you in the fight with us as a YUCCA member – whether you're brand-new to this work, or you've been organizing for years.
​
