This is a secure, on-line transaction service offered by www.paypal.com and there is no fee to you, but you must set up a PayPal account, using your e-mail and password. Do not forget this password if you wish to use this service regularly.

- Mail your dues money to an IWW Delegate. After processing the dues, the delegate should send the dues stamps back to you to paste in your book.
- Mail your dues payment and your Red membership Card to GHQ or a delegate.
- Become an IWW Delegate and pay dues to yourself, sign up new members in your area, and collect their dues as you help build the IWW in your community / industry. Contact our General Headquarters if you wish to become an IWW delegate.
