Membership
Joining Gender Equity in Media Society Vancouver is joining a movement for gender equity in front of and behind the camera in screen-based media. Your membership fees make GEMS possible. They support our advocacy initiatives, our programming, our events and our festival.
Anybody who is equity-deserving on the basis of gender is welcome to become a voting member of GEMS. This includes, but is not limited to, trans, non-binary, two-spirit, Indigiqueer people, and cis women. Cis men who wish to support our organization and cause are welcome to become a non-voting member of GEMS.
We encourage representation from all the creative, technical, administrative, and service fields that sustain our lively screen-based media industry and community.
