Tier one
Community
Freealways
- The newsletter

- Basic genealogy resources
- The event calendar
Membership
40 Million Strong.
Forty million people is not a shortage of numbers. It is a shortage of coordination. This is the vehicle that fixes that.
Membership provides belonging, practical benefit, capital that aggregates instead of scattering, and a real vote on what the Nation Plan prioritizes next. It is the difference between an audience and an organization.
Month to month. Cancel any time and you keep access until the period you paid for runs out.
The tiers
Four ways in. One of them is free.
Every tier gets something real. The free tier is not a demo, it is a genuine membership with genuine resources, because a movement that charges at the door stays small.

Membership dues and any land fund contribution are separate from each other and separate from an investment. Nothing here is an offer of securities, and voting rights attach to project priorities rather than to ownership of any asset.
The mechanism
What dues actually buy.
Plenty of organizations collect money and report back in adjectives. The measure here is whether members can see where it went.
Aggregation
Capital that stays together
Dues plus optional land fund contributions collect into a single transparent vehicle rather than scattering across a dozen good intentions.
Mutual aid
Job board, skill share, emergency support
The features members use in a bad month are the features that keep them through a good one. Retention is not a marketing problem, it is a value problem.
Chapters
Local before national
Chapters open in the southern states first. Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and North Carolina, where the lineage and the land question both sit.
Voice
Democratic input
Builder and Founder members nominate and elect the rotating advisors who sit in the OUR NATION working groups. The plan is meant to be argued with.
Reporting
Numbers, published
Financial reporting members can read without a finance degree, on a fixed schedule, including the quarters that go badly.
Directory
Business to business
A member business directory so dues circulate back through member enterprises instead of leaving the network on day one.
Ten year roadmap
Four phases, each with something you can check.
The end state is a legally structured, economically viable community on land held under clear title in the southern United States, governed by its members under cooperative bylaws, entirely within United States law.
-
Years 1–2
Foundation
Launch the Living Key curriculum and run the first cohorts. Open membership and recruit the first paid members. Constitute OUR NATION with thirty to fifty founding advisors. Publish the podcast on a real schedule. Stand up the legal entity, banking, CRM and transparent financial reporting. Begin mapping southern land opportunities and building stakeholder relationships.
-
Years 3–5
Scale and capital
Grow membership substantially. Raise a dedicated acquisition fund through contributions, investor notes and alliances. Pilot small projects: community gardens, shared workspaces, elder social hubs, local workshops. Publish the first full Nation Plan of Action with prioritized initiatives and budgets. Identify and option candidate parcels. Formalize alliances with aligned organizations, churches and academic partners.
-
Years 6–8
Acquisition and build
Close on the primary parcel. Develop access, water, power and initial housing using member labor alongside contracted expertise. Establish the governance documents: cooperative bylaws, covenants, membership agreements. Launch on site intensives and the first economic enterprises, from value added agriculture to a content studio.
-
Years 9–10
Activation and autonomy
Hit operational self sufficiency targets on food, energy and revenue against core costs. Expand governance capacity and local services. Document the model in full so other communities can replicate it without starting from nothing. Keep the external alliances alive.
Historical precedent for this is real: Eatonville, Allensworth, and the Black towns of Oklahoma, alongside modern land trusts and cooperative models. This plan builds parallel institutions and a physical community under the Constitution. It contains no call for secession and no call for conflict.
Coordination is the only missing ingredient.
