The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration, and Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) is a mass, democratic, national organization dedicated to building the new civil rights movement to end racism and segregation. Form a BAMN chapter, or affiliate your existing organization with BAMN!

Affiliation will give you and your members full BAMN membership rights, which means you will have the ability to:

• give input into national campaigns
• have direction in national campaigns and not be isolated in local struggles
• be linked-up with high school, college and other groups in your area that extend beyond your individual school to help with the struggles at your school and to mobilize regionally
• be connected to groups across the country to share tactics and lessons of the struggle
• help form national organization for the new civil rights movement as a necessary vehicle for moving on the offensive to realize the promise of Brown v. Board of Education

To affiliate your organization with BAMN, please follow the steps below:

1. If your organization has board meetings, pass the BAMN Principles and Youth Declaration with a majority vote at your next meeting. If your organization does not have one, please skip to step 2.
2. Ratify the BAMN Principles and Youth Declaration with a majority vote at your next membership meeting.
3. Register your BAMN affiliate organization on the BAMN website at www.bamn.com. You will then be listed as an affiliate for other groups to contact you.
