Housing and energy are the two growth sectors in the movement since 2020. Housing will always be important, but for me, hasn't always seen the focus that it deserves. Thankfully CCH work tirelessly to raise the profile. #coops

Admittedly I'm a member of the Fox and Goose, so I would say that they deserve a follow. Cooperation should be meaningful and genuine, regardless of the sector said coop operates in.

#coops A movement built by the ppl for the ppl.
🗓 December 21st marks 180 years since the Rochdale Pioneers launched the modern cooperative movement. They opened a small store to provide affordable, quality food, and the idea rapidly spread throughout England and the world. Co-ops granted women a vote for the first time in their lives. 💁♂️🙋♀️

The war in Ukraine is vile. War is vile.
2024 is ending.
We are currently in the most complicated and challenging point since the start of the full-scale war.
Deadlock, war of attrition, strategic uncertainty - there are many terms to describe today's situation.

Why wouldn't we. Really..
Italy's Marcora Law supports worker buyouts. Worker-owned cooperatives that have been established by workers purchasing a business facing closure or being put up for sale exhibit a 3-year survival rate of 87%, contrasting with the 48% survival rate of Italian enterprises. 👷
