What do you ask me for?
Your name, your e-mail address and where you live. Your hometown, your household and a message are yours to add if you wish. We never ask about immigration or residence status.
How do I add my household?
Choose “Household” and tell us how many adults there are. Each adult joins with their own e-mail address, and children under 18 are included on a parent’s membership.
I belong to an association. What should I do?
Name your association in the message, and it is linked to your card. If you lead the association, register it on the page for community leaders.
Can I leave?
At any time. Write to us and we delete your membership record.
