It was because Enrique Febbraro, a dentist, teacher, etc. He recognized the day as symbol of union and friendship among people.

He started to send letters to his friends, then was very quickly adopted and replicated by others and was declared Día del Amigo few years later in Buenos Aires.

As argentinian is one of the best events, the Moon Landing for us started our tradition of Día del Amigo (friends day). There is no excuses, we spend the day or a dinner or something with our friends, we celebrate that.

We salute all cooperatives today, and workers everywhere who are are bringing to reality a more open, fair and inclusive solidarity economy.

In this special year, let's reflect: How can we incorporate cooperative values of democracy, equity, equality, and solidarity into our organizations and communities?

Cooperatives are not just businesses! They are social transformation movements that prove another economic model is possible.

From agricultural co-ops connecting local producers, to financial co-ops democratizing access to credit, to housing co-ops opening paths to homeownership, to worker cooperative associations (like us!) providing services and solutions to community and peers, cooperatives are building a better world.

Why do cooperatives matter more than ever?

They democratize the economy, redistributing power and creating shared prosperity.

They drive sustainability, prioritizing people, planet, and purpose over pure profit.

They strengthen communities through local investment and sustainable development.
