Find your Jewish home. Become a member of Boston Workers Circle today. BWC is a member-led organization. Our membership year runs from June to May, which means it's time to renew if you haven't already! Or, if you're not already a member, now is a great time to become one! Membership is a moment to be counted in our movement and grow our collective power.

Your annual member dues allow us to remain a grassroots, member-led, self-sustaining organization that stays accountable to our members. At BWC, nobody is turned away for lack of funds. We highly value being a class-diverse community and trust our members to figure out what amount they can pay for membership. Collectively, member dues are a sustainable, major source of revenue for our organization, and whether you give $1 or $1,500, your contribution is valued equally.
