Becoming a DU Star Member is Easy.

We want all of our members to become Star Members, so we've made it easy to become a DU subscriber. You get to choose how often you want to pay, and more importantly, how much you want to pay!

Advertising and member subscriptions are Democratic Underground's only sources of funding so sign up for a Star Membership today and help DU grow and thrive. You'll receive a cool star Star Member next to your username, and all the features listed below.

IMPORTANT: Star Membership lasts for one year from the date of your purchase, regardless of whether you are purchasing a new membership or renewing an existing membership. To be clear: If you are renewing a Star Membership which has not yet expired, the one-year "clock" resets when you renew, and lasts for one year from the date of your purchase.
