Membership is integral to our work at Silent Majority, Ghana. SMG members are part of a transnational community of people committed and open to learning about anti-colonial queer African feminist principles. Through meetings and other events, members participate in political education sessions where they can deepen their understanding about queer organizing based on African feminist indigenous knowledge systems. Members also have the opportunity to develop collective actions and campaigns to counteract oppressive legislation and cultural practices, and support queer Ghanaian communities. Membership is a space in which we practice freedom by creating the kind of diverse, open, welcoming, community space that we want to see in the wider world. Joining Silent Majority, Ghana as a member will give you an opportunity to shape the organization’s strategy through meeting participation, enhance your knowledge and organizing skills through facilitated conversations and in-person educational retreats, and develop a transnational community invested in queer freedom.
