We’re in Columbus today visiting Pattycake Bakery and Maroon Arts Group. In Cleveland we visited a community land trust, two housing co-ops, and two worker co-ops. Tomorrow we’re in Cincy for Co-op Cincy’s Co-opFest.

I’m spending this weekend visiting co-ops throughout the state on the Ohio Co-op Solidarity Tour. It’s awesome to workplaces putting solidarity economy principles into practice in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincy!
