The #FestivalCoopera was born out of a desire to bring #cooperativism closer to movements fighting for a fairer, more ecological, and more democratic society.

The event is part of the mission #RedeDeCooperativasIntegrais's mission to stengthen networks for collaboration and knowledge-sharing among cooperatives and people interested in the #SolidarityEconomy.

We want to be many and show that cooperativism is alive and thriving. Invite your community and stay tuned for more updates. (2/2)

@GEO_Collective is running a #poetry slam as a fundraiser on May the fourth. It's really about the #solidarityeconomy, but bring what makes this life worth living for you!

(Why May 4th? That's the date of the worker demonstration at #Haymarket Square in Chicago that May Day commemorates.)

#FirestormBooks needs our help! Thinking about buying a book? Buy it from them!

#MutualAid #WorkerCoop #SolidarityEconomy #Bookstores

Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. In simple language: our sales are down, our costs are (way) up, and capitalism is the worst.

With less than $15k in financial buffer left, we've projected that our co-op will no longer have the resources needed for normal operations by the end of July.

⚠️ What We're Doing

Over recent months, we've analyzed our situation and explored possible interventions. We're planning to modestly increase store hours, refresh our Sustainers Program, explore new advertising opportunities, better promote our bulk / B2B sales, research grants for unfunded work done by our members, and look for new pop-up gigs. More immediately, we're planning a big sale for mid-April and we've requested and received a temporary reduction to our mortgage.

Our hope is that a handful of short-term measures will buy us time to pursue the longer-term shift in revenue needed to stabilize Firestorm. If we don't succeed, our nuclear option is a cut to pay. As a horizontal co-op we set a payrate democratically, so no changes take place without buy-in from our whole team, but moving away from a living wage runs counter to our collective health.

⚠️ What You Can Do!

If Firestorm surviving and thriving is important to you, we welcome your support. Here are a few ways to pitch in:

🌈 Buy your next book from us, or tell someone who buys books about us! Not a physical media person? We also sell audiobooks through Libro.fm.

🌈 Join our Sustainers Program, starting at $10/mo! Members receive discounts on books and can access free shipping, a monthly book subscription, and other great perks.

🌈 If you work in an organization that coordinates book-related programs, reach out to us about bulk purchasing (we offer discounts!)

We extend our huge appreciation to everyone who is already supporting our co-op financially, or otherwise! We've only made it this far because of you.

Bolivia has a thriving indigenous tradition called “ayni,” a word from the Quechua and Aymara indigenous languages used by the farmers, which means “today for you, tomorrow for me.” The word describes a larger cultural perspective of mutual respect and reciprocity that was clearly visible during this exchange.

The #PuertoRico #SocialSolidarityNetwork #ESSPR is a platform that connects people and organizations to promote and foster the social #solidarityeconomy. The network emerged after a series of economical disasters and from the #cooperative and #communitydevelopment movements to influence economic transformation for a sustainable, integral, human development for the #commongood.

Yes, social enterprises and co-ops have to operate within a state-corporate system, they're not magically immune from the effects of this just because they have non-corporate or even anti-corporate ways of working, or legal structures. Their mere existence can't and won't solve all the problems our societies face.

But the more we can build the solidarity economy, the more resources we have to do the other work that's needed.

“To speak of ‘limits to growth’ under a capitalistic market economy is as meaningless as to speak of limits of warfare under a warrior society. The moral pieties, that are voiced today by many well-meaning environmentalists, are as naive as the moral pieties of multinationals are manipulative. Capitalism can no more be ‘persuaded’ to limit growth than a human being can be ‘persuaded’ to stop breathing. Attempts to ‘green’ capitalism, to make it ‘ecological’, are doomed by the very nature of the system as a system of endless growth.”

― Murray Bookchin
