Full patch RAMC membership as a Sibling, Son, or Daughter is a privilege earned by real demonstrations of character. Demonstrations of character are more important to carrying out the club's mission than any other membership requirement.

Each member has demonstrated that they have acted to improve the quality of life for oppressed communities. Our members demonstrate their character through their choice of vocation and/or service to their community.

Our members have:

• Played significant roles in the fight against HIV/AIDS
• Played significant roles in fighting homelessness
• Set up programs, services and agencies dedicated to increasing the wellbeing of their community

There's an old biker saying called DILLIGAF which stands for, "Does It Look Like I Give A Fuck?" RAMC members reject the idea that apathy is somehow interesting or useful. To paraphrase Edmund Burke, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Doing nothing, refusing to care and choosing to be flippant about the wellbeing of our community is what each hate group hopes to see in oppressed communities. RAMC members refuse to aid "those which hate us" with our indifference.

Our members are advocates for justice and equality. Whether it's setting up low-cost heath clinics or performing gorilla journalism, our members make meaningful improvements to our community's wellbeing. Our Sons and Daughters are not pushovers. We are the people our oppressors worry about. We take the wellbeing of our community very seriously. The original RAMC members cut their teeth in the Deep South and learned that if we want to win, we have to play to win.

Character defines a RAMC members. Character is our destiny and our legacy. It is for this reason, RAMC membership is not something to be taken lightly.

Club dues are $20/month and are due by the 15th of each month. Club dues support the continued wellbeing of the club as well as RAMC charity work. Special arrangements can be made for students and for those on a fixed income on a case-by-case basis.

Full patch members become eligible to wear a full patch when they have successfully completed their prospect membership period.

The patch:

The club colors are black and white, which symbolize the yin and yang of existence as well as the balance between the two extremes.

Our patch represents the sprit of the Rebeccan movement. The blacked out cowl and axe were common icons of the Army of Rebecca. Many who suffered under the brutality of unjust laws viewed Rebecca as an angel of mercy and when the Army of Rebecca moved against oppressors, they were sometimes seen as angels of vengeance. The heart represents compassion and the motto of the Rebeccan movement is shown prominently.
