I looked them up and really liked what I read about them so I decieded to "join". There is no official membership its more of "a state of mind" as the website says. Basically you take an oath to not reproduce so that the earth can heal itself.
Here is what the site says the movement is about.
VHEMT (pronounced vehement) is a movement not an organization. It’s a movement advanced by people who care about life on planet Earth. We’re not just a bunch of misanthropes and anti-social, Malthusian misfits, taking morbid delight whenever disaster strikes humans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Voluntary human extinction is the humanitarian alternative to human disasters.
We don’t carry on about how the human race has shown itself to be a greedy, amoral parasite on the once-healthy face of this planet. That type of negativity offers no solution to the inexorable horrors which human activity is causing.
Rather, The Movement presents an encouraging alternative to the callous exploitation and wholesale destruction of Earth’s ecology.
As VHEMT Volunteers know, the hopeful alternative to the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals is the voluntary extinction of one species: Homo sapiens... us.
Each time another one of us decides to not add another one of us to the burgeoning billions already squatting on this ravaged planet, another ray of hope shines through the gloom.
When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth’s biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, evolve (if they believe in evolution), and will perhaps pass away, as so many of Nature’s “experiments” have done throughout the eons.
It’s going to take all of us going.
The website goes very in depth with just about any question you can answer. They even have a section for hate mail (my favorite section). They even sell t-shirts and bumper stickers which I'm going to order. And there is a woman who does cartoons that promote the movement which are quite funny.
My personal favorite below
I hate to even add this but please dont leave any ignornant/ degrading comments. They dont do any good.
