Member Week Request (Nov 10-14, 2025)

Deepen the Connection

As we approach Member Week (November 10–14, 2025), we’re inviting every Strong Towns member to help strengthen the connection between what’s happening in your community and what’s happening across the broader Strong Towns movement.

Member Week is a time to celebrate you — the people leading the work of change where you live. It’s also a moment to invite others to join this growing network of Strong Citizens so that more people have the resources, relationships, and guidance they need to make their places stronger.

“When we share what membership means to us, we show others that the Strong Towns movement isn’t just an idea — it’s something real, happening in communities everywhere.”

Why Membership Matters

Membership isn’t just about financial support. It’s about connection, participation, and shared ownership of a movement that’s redefining what it means to build strong communities.

When someone becomes a member, they’re not just donating to an organization — they’re declaring that they believe in a better way to grow, invest, and care for their place. Every contribution, large or small, sustains the resources, events, and support systems that make this movement possible.

How You Can Help During Member Week

1. Share the Message.
Talk with friends, family, and colleagues about why you joined Strong Towns and what membership means to you. Personal stories from trusted voices are the most powerful invitations anyone can receive.

2. Invite Others to Join.
Send people to strongtowns.org/membership. Remind them there’s no minimum amount required — even $1 is a statement of support and belief in this mission. Encourage them to mention you in their comment associated with their donation and we'll be sure you get credit!

3. Celebrate Together.
Use Member Week to highlight local wins and examples of Strong Towns ideas in action. Share them on social media with #StrongTownsMemberWeek and tag @StrongTowns so others can see the growing impact of this movement.

4. Reflect and Reconnect.
Take a moment to think about what being part of Strong Towns has meant to you. How has it changed the way you see your community? What have you learned? Share those reflections with us during Member Week — they help shape what comes next.

Member Week is about recognizing that this movement is built by thousands of people who care deeply about the places they call home. When each of us contributes what we can — time, ideas, and yes, dollars — we create the foundation for something that lasts.

Let’s use this week to grow the movement, deepen our connections, and make sure everyone who believes in a Strong Towns approach has the chance to be part of it.

(P.S. Chuck and I recorded a short video about this — I hope you’ll watch it!)
