I would say, we need to highlight : freedom, future, innovation, "being part 
of this" (community, people).

So I propose 3 reasons (with some inspiration from Aaron's ones). I think 
showing just 3 well chosen reasons is better than a dozen of them that will 
make the page too much crowded. They should be as short as possible.

"You want to create a brighter future with us"
"You value freedom in all its shapes" (I don't know if that expression exists 
this way in English, it means "whatever the shapes it may takes")
"You want to support innovation and sharing"

There is a repetition of "you want" maybe we should find something else here.

Another idea : if you want to have a lot of reasons to be displayed, we can 
make the 3 primary reasons cliquables (with something like "more..." written 
besides) so that we can further explain and add the other reasons in those 
explanations. Just an idea...

That will depend on the number of reasons chosen and the size of these 
sentences.

I tried the "join"  process.
- the sentence "Enter the verification code we sent to " was badly written 
with a lot of spaces between words. We should btw keep all on one single line 
in that central grey line, if possible.
- the checkbox meaning "public" is not clear. I guess it's for being publicily 
displayed on the website as a supporter (right ? or is it just for the mail 
address ?) but it should be clearer, maybe : "make my support public".
- password and password confirmation should have a * too
- when you don't specify a field that must be filled, the widget is painted in 
red except for password and address. It should be.

I wasn't able to go further. I stopped the process (because I had no longer 
access to some widgets : I couldn't enter a text inside them... I don't know 
why... maybe my browser) and then when I tried it again my email address was 
already registered. This is right way to do it of course unless the form has 
not been completed the first time : in this case, we could remove the entry 
and allow the user to start the process again.

Last point for now : when there is too much errors, the messages don't fit in 
the grey central line. Maybe put it simply on the right of the form.

Sorry, I had no time to answer and to help last time.
