Co-ops open the door to what we need. Anything you can imagine doing in a better world can be done through cooperatives. Organize & share what you need. In cooperation ~ MGC #organize #opendoors #share #gocoop #thecoopway #pledgeofallegiance #onelove

It’s Co-op Month Learn our history. Pick up a copy of Collective Courage at the Co-op & read it. Share it The cooperative history documented on this book confirms that cooperatives are an important economic tool in Black communities because of their economic and social benefits. They recirculate local resources; support education and training; create jobs and meaningful work; address market failure and marginality; are economically and environmentally sustainable; facil...itate joint ownership; build wealth; require democratic participation; develop leadership capacity; and promote civic participation. ~ Jessica Gordon Nembhard get the book and read on!
