If you chose not to pay dues electronically, you can:

• Contact an IWW delegate and pay your dues to them in person. (This may be difficult if you live far away from any other known members)
• 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.

You may contact GHQ or an IWW delegate listed in our directory. Remember, your red-card is the ultimate record of your dues payments.
