text: Membership Cooperative | A Social Justice Cooperative
  These generous benefits are made possible by the alliance between our talented volunteers, the open source software community, our corporate sponsors and funders.
  Social leaders understand that cooperative engagement toward shared success is the key to social progress.
  The Northbridge Technology Alliance Membership Cooperative (aka. "the Alliance") is a socially responsible technology community that generates and shares collective capacity for socially progressive work.
  Our community is organized around renowned open source traditions and our collaboration software is member owned. We share basic hosting costs. We are sustained by skilled technology volunteers, donations, membership dues, grants and select corporate partnerships. We work together to identify, produce and refine tools that will help us carry out our missions. All of this cooperation results in an astonishing level of technology capacity and social benefit at a fraction of the financial cost of typical profit-sector software licensing.
  Membership benefits include a dedicated online meeting and webinar room in our very own community-developed Nexus Web Meet. Unlimited instructor-led training is also included, along with caucus participation in order to drive our next iteration of technology development.
  Here is a quick summary of our member levels, showing Nexus Web Meet room capacities. Make sure to reference the whitepaper links in sidebar for many more details.
