Jahajee Membership

Jahajee is a survivor-centered gender justice organization activating Indo-Caribbean New Yorkers to address the root causes of gender-based violence. Our community of support guides survivors to heal, recover, and thrive. Through arts activism, leadership development, and grassroots organizing, we amplify community voices and visions to transform culture. 

This membership program will give people who receive direct services or participate in our public programs a way to have ownership and co-leadership of our organization. Through their membership power, members can make lasting systemic and cultural change for our families and the wider community. Together, we will make a world where bandaid solutions are no longer needed.

Jahajee has a new membership model that will strengthen our base of committed and engaged changemakers.

Pronouns (she, he, they, other) 

We use pronouns when referring to someone without using their name. Example: Have you heard from Tasha? She hasn’t texted me back all day. She is the pronoun. 

Why does it matter? Our most commonly used pronouns (he/she) specifically refer to a person’s gender. For queer, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and transgender people, these may not fit and can create discomfort.

Class Identity 

Class identity is an individual’s position in a society based on their income and social groups. 

Working class individuals need to work in order to survive. That means they need to exchange labor for income on a weekly or monthly basis to survive.
Wealthy/owning class does not need to work in order to survive. That means they have investments, accounts, etc. that they do not need to actively labor to receive income.

This can be based on your individual or household income.
