Cooperative resilience is real.
🗨️For traditional start-ups, only 10% of companies succeed. For #coops, it is the opposite, 90% survive and show resilience in the long term... says Thomas Meyer, VP of CoopsEurope.

Yet, scaleability remains a challenge and investment needs are huge.📈

"We invest billions in defence & COVID recovery—imagine if we invested in growing the cooperative economy from 10% to 20%. The impact on democracy, sustainability & local economies would be massive." – Thomas Meyer, VP Cooperatives Europe

⚡ Our policy advisor Felix Kriedemann has warned participants at @coopseurope.bsky.social's Cooperative Leadership Forum about the risk of corporate capture of the energy community concept.

🎙️ National governments must take action to prevent public funds from being misused for corporate profit.

The antidote to doomerism isn’t blind optimism, it’s a strident, rebellious, unflinching belief that we are right, we are righteous, and we will win.

If anyone tells you campaigning for a shorter working week is a sign we’re all getting softer, ask them what Churchill thought about the 4-day week.

Even he believed technology would "give the working man what he's never had – four days' work and then three days' fun." /

In a world where exploitative billionaires and corporate interests seek to increase their authority over us, it is now more important than ever to support our community and worker-owned businesses, to build solidarity and support networks so that everyone can live fine and free.
