Equal dignity
Reject political violence, intimidation, and dehumanization.
Unity without uniformity
Membership
Preview Vicinism membership expectations, covenant commitments, future dues terms, and the closed public activation boundary.
Signature visual
Membership threshold
Quiz, covenant, dues, and server verification sit together so membership reads as a public commitment, not a bare payment button.
Membership payment and activation are not open yet.
Vicinism is not yet a formed legal entity. Entity formation, LegalShield/counsel review, and final launch approval are pending. JC Gonzalez-Ramirez is the only interim accountable owner for this public preview.
Public member accounts, recovery links, receipts, refunds, recurring billing, and live card collection remain closed until a separate final approval record exists.
Membership is a civic relationship.
It is not a donation funnel, a mailing-list badge, a customer loyalty plan, or proof of ideological purity. Membership begins with understanding and asks for neighborly obligation.
Closed release gate
Membership is education-only right now.
Future pricing, if approved: $12 for the first twelve months, then $1 monthly until canceled.
The server route rejects public checkout before accepting member data, before Stripe, and before recovery email while the release gate is closed.
Future lifecycle requirements
- Entity formation and counsel review completed first
- Quiz completion and covenant version captured only after the gate opens
- Signed payment webhook required before any future activation
- Receipt, paid-through date, cancellation, refund, and recovery policy published before collection
Covenant preview
Unity without uniformity
Dissent honestly and protect the right of others to dissent.
Right scale
Seek decisions near consequences while respecting the rights floor and broader federation.
Neighborly action
Listen, contribute honestly, disclose conflicts, and help build accountable local civic life.
