The Monroe Society is now taking applications to its membership waitlist. Members will be admitted in cohorts as we open the private forum, the members' Discord and our first state chapters.

In honor of the year Monroe gave his message, the first 1,823 members admitted will carry the title of Founder for as long as the Society exists.

Applicants affirm the Ten Articles and tell us a little about themselves. There is no fee to apply.
