I'm proud to have banked with Brooklyn Cooperative since I formed my LLC in 2019. Their business loan at 9% interest allowed me to buy my steadicam in 2022, kickstarting my ability to make real money. I'll pay off the full balance this year.
Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union has created a new loan program to help worker-owned co-ops access capital, addressing an often significant barrier for the model.
This is impactful for the growth of the democratic economy and in the creation of an alternative system where wealth is shared.

A New Loan Product Is Helping Power Brooklyn’s Coops
A Brooklyn credit union just launched a new loan product designed for worker-owned cooperatives. For one agricultural coop, it’s already made a difference.

I remarked early into the afternoon to a woman standing behind a table covered in organized boxes of hand warmers and coffee and masks how impressively fast these things came together.
“We can do this so quickly because we built these networks in 2020, so now everyone just knows what to do.“

In the spring I joked that the real winner of the Mayor's race was @ny4childcare.bsky.social thanks to their organizing for universal childcare. Today's announcement is the culmination of that work.
The goal of the multiyear plan, which Ms. Hochul is expected to introduce alongside the mayor in an appearance Thursday morning and will be a part of her State of the State address on Jan. 13, would be to offer universal access to children statewide, her office said.

Yesterday an undergraduate at my alma mater sent out a newsletter with the subject line, "goodbye 2015...hello 2016!!!"
Can't explain why but made my whole day.
