Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN) is a membership organization with a shared political and strategic orientation.
Our organization is made up of members involved in social struggles in a variety of sectors: workplaces, neighborhoods, schools and universities, etc. Our members are grouped together in Locals (chapters) based on city or region. Locals are made up of a minimum of three Black Rose / Rosa Negra members in good standing. Members of these Locals strategize within the larger framework of the federation, working to knit together struggles and build popular power on local, regional, and national scales.
We bring new members into Black Rose / Rosa Negra with intention. We expect those who join our organization to be involved in active organizing campaigns in the sectors where our members are embedded.
Our admission and integration process for new members is around 2-4 months. This process involves a series of readings, discussions, orientation to the structures of the organization, and integration into our sectoral organizing work. We are also a dues paying organization.
If you live in a city or a region with an existing Local, we will connect you with them in order to coordinate your integration. To check if your city or region has a Local, click here.
We prioritize applicants wishing to join existing Locals, as well as groups of three or more wishing to form new Locals. While we do accept membership inquiries from individuals wishing to join our organization under ‘at-large’ status, such members are expected to actively work toward the formation of new Locals.
When you or your group reach out, please tell us a bit about yourselves, why you鈥檙e drawn to Black Rose / Rosa Negra, and what organizing work you are currently involved in.
Note: Please be patient as we respond. We receive many inquiries from people who are newly politicized or seeking to learn more about anarchism or libertarian socialism. We are happy to talk with you and point you toward educational or organizing resources in your region. If you are new to anarchism, we recommend that you start on this page.
