Loomio

[change] "Get involved" page

VD Valerie D. Public Seen by 20

Our main goal as pirate party is to get more people on board and let them feel empowered to join the fight --> one of the menus on the website is Get involved.

Problem: The first items there are "newsletter" and "give money" (also present on the main page...). But that's not really the best way of getting people involved or making them feel welcome (is it??).

Can we (re-)discuss what this page should say?

Starting proposal: a simple reshuffling:

  1. Meet pirates: contact a crew and join a beer
  2. Meet pirates: join labs
  3. Become member and donate
  4. Newsletter

Proposal 2.0 : transforming it into a "How to contribute to the Pirate Party" page:

Contributing to the Pirate Party

If you share our values and wish to be part of the adventure, here is what you could do:

Meet the Pirates:
- _Join us for a chat _(we call this a "Beer" but you can drink anything you like)
- Come to other Pirate events
- Contact your nearest crew

Co-create the Pirate political project:
- Propose ideas and projects at one of our Pirate Labs or on our Loomio group
- Join one of the current projects

Stay tuned and spread the news:
- Suscribe to the newsletter
- Share our values and articles, among others on our social networks : Facebook, Twitter and Mastodon

Help:
- Report any bugs or missing information on our website, wiki or on our social media accounts
- Help us find free/affordable venues where we can hold public meetings

Financial support:
- Support us by donating small amounts (a small but regular fee is ideal)

Becoming a member of the Pirate Party:

If you want to be a member, the amount should be at least 1€ and the communication with the payment should include your email address using ‘at’ instead of @ e.g. daniel.smith at gmail.com
You need to have made a member contribution within the last year in order to have voting rights at a General Assembly.

Our account number is: IBAN: BE90 5230 8062 2132 (BIC: TRIOBEBBXXX)

Don’t expect an immediate confirmation with a member card, but don’t worry, we will keep track of things and at least let you know about the next GAs. On the other hand, the information about donations or memberships will never be published or disclosed.

Still have a question on how you can contribute, or have other ideas? Contact us! Our email : contact at pirateparty.be

The Contribute page has been updated, also la version française.

And the 2 big links on the main page now read "Contribute to the Pirate Party" and "Suscribe to the newsletter".

Een vertaling is welkom!

But please take some minutes to check the content/links, to avoid a silly situation where a link doesn't work and nobody notices before 6 months.

I made a proper link to the ppbe Mastodon account :sweat_smile:

I would say "Join for a talk" rather than "Join for a chat" :)

Sinon, tout semble bien pour moi ;)

I agree that those 2 buttons should be not in the middle of the page. Best is to end every page with a subscribe button like: have a question? Want to know more? Want to talk? Yes, I want to talk.
