### Build a Truly Democratic Movement with Paperform

Creating a horizontalist advocacy group means rethinking traditional power structures—and that starts with how you bring people in. This **Horizontalism Advocacy Registration Form** template is designed specifically for movements practicing non-hierarchical organizing, consensus decision-making, and directly democratic practices.

Unlike rigid top-down forms, this template captures not just contact details, but **shared values, skills, availability for consensus meetings, and collaborative preferences**—everything you need to build a participatory, egalitarian community from day one.

#### Perfect for progressive advocacy groups, grassroots movements, and directly democratic organizations

Whether you're organizing a mutual aid network, climate justice collective, housing rights campaign, or community assembly, this template helps you **register supporters who are ready to co-create rather than simply follow**. It gathers information about members' interests in working groups, facilitation experience, accessibility needs, and commitment to collective decision-making processes.

Paperform's conditional logic lets you tailor questions based on how people want to participate—whether they're interested in direct actions, facilitation roles, consensus training, or supporting specific campaigns. And because the form is fully customizable, you can adapt the language, add your collective's principles, and embed it directly on your website or share via social media.

#### Automate onboarding without creating hierarchy

Once someone registers, use **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)** to automatically add them to your communication channels (Signal, Discord, Slack), send welcome packets with consensus guidelines, schedule them into orientation circles, and update your membership database—all while keeping the process transparent and decentralized. No administrators gatekeeping access, just smooth, automated onboarding that honors your horizontal values.

If you need new members to review and sign your collective's agreements, safer spaces policy, or anti-oppression principles, integrate **[Papersign](https://papersign.com)** to collect eSignatures on key documents, ensuring everyone enters the space with informed, freely-given consent.
