  5. After Capitalism: A Cooperative Economy (Documentary)

    Worker #coops are the most plausible alternative to #capitalism that is clearly better than the status quo. The far left needs to unify around this vision of a postcapitalist society, so we can point to a clear example of how things could be different.

  9. Forgive lengthy quote from an email I received from Siôn Whellens of Solidfund - solidfund.coop/join

    "Right now, a defence of workers' livelihoods and homes is happening in Stirchley, Birmingham. It's a high-stakes challenge to the whole movement and a wake-up call for co-op solidarity.

    "Solidfund members have risen to the challenge. They just pledged £30,000 of the fund's reserve cash in support of Stirchley Cooperative Development (SCD)'s effort to take over three workspaces and 39 affordable homes. Read the full story here - solidfund.coop/civicrm/mailing

    "To me this is what Solidfund is about - material support for workers to collectively control and own their own work, which also means securing their workspace.

    "Solidfund is rooted in the here and now of defending jobs and improving workers' lives through worker cooperation. It's also part of a wider movement to challenge exploitation, redistribute power to workers, and show that another way of organising work and the economy is not just possible but already happening.

    "The standoff in Stirchley is complicated. It's political as well as financial, highlighting the general conflict between external landlords and private owners of capital assets on the one hand, and workers, domestic renters and working class communities on the other. The conflict plays out over control of physical space for us to work and live, as well as access to the cash without which it's really difficult to change anything.

    "Calverts, the co-op where I used to work, now pays £110,000 a year in rent to a private landlord who can from time to time decide to throw them out. That's equivalent to about £10k from every full time worker member, every year. They're also legally obliged to maintain and modernise his property, while he does nothing but pocket wealth that could instead be going back to the solidarity economy.

    "That's exactly what the SCD project aims for, why we need more not fewer collectively controlled physical spaces, and why Solidfund members decided to support them."

  12. 🌍🤝 Today we celebrate the International Day of Cooperatives!

    This year's theme, Cooperatives for a Peaceful World, reminds us that peace is more than the absence of conflict.

    In a time of polarization, inequality, and uncertainty, cooperatives show that another way of organizing our economy and communities is possible.

    As ICA Director General Jeroen Douglas noted, cooperatives strengthen local economies, expand access to services, promote democratic participation, and foster trust and solidarity.

    Why do cooperatives matter?

    🕊️ Peace through participation
    🤝 Stronger social cohesion
    🌱 Sustainable local impact

    Today, ChiCommons celebrates #CoopsDay with fellow cooperators, neighbors, and allies across Chicago.

    Cooperatives are more than businesses.
    They are democracy in action.
    They are communities.
    They are bridges between people.

  16. @celesteh I’m sure I’ve seen stuff in cooperative resources but brain fog is stopping me remembering, so I'm not as useful as I'd hope… Worth having a look at uk.coop/support-your-co-operat though there’s a lot to plough through. People Support might have some good resources too. peoplesupport.coop/ and paging #cooperatives #coops #WorkerCoops

    And of course there’s Michael Young’s “I said DON’T build the torment nexus, you fools” piece theguardian.com/politics/2001/
