 And member-driven work is the centerpiece of MFPL's work in coalitions and campaigns and events of all kinds. From our work as leaders of the technology workgroup (37 strong) at the [http://ussf2007.org United States Social Forum] to our [wiki:internet_rights_workshop internet rights workshop] presented at events like the [http://nycgrassrootsmedia.org Grass Roots Media Conference], to our Statement of Internet Rights, to coalitions like the one we're building to develop ways to work on political technology hemisphere-wide.
 
+== Besides the political contribution, what benefits for members actually get? ==
+
+Take a look at our (link memberbenefits)member benefits page for a full explanation but basically:
+
+    * your own domains and domain-based websites - members are allowed multiple websites
+    * optional Drupal installation, a program to help you easily maintain your web site via a web page
+    * unlimited @yourdomain.org email and aliases
+    * up to five @yourdomain.org mail lists
+    * all standard ISP hosting tools (such as MySQL, PHP, shell access)
+    * full access to all our members' sites including the blogs site, the support system and our members' control panel.
+
+There is no charge for any of these benefits. You pay your dues and you take and use everything you need...as much of it as you need. There is no limit.
+
+== "No charge"? How is that possible? ==
+
+Because our pooling of resources (both financial and work) makes it possible. That's why we have the structure we do.
+
+== How many members do you have? ==
+
+About 250 active with about 400 websites and thousands of emails. We are growing every day.
+
+== How do I join? ==
+
+Using the form on the "Join Us" page.
