:TwinPines: "In 2017 the union set up Top Manta, a co-op that sells clothes, accessories and sportswear made by migrants. In doing so, it aims to improve the living conditions of the vendors and take them off the streets. Getting started was difficult, particularly due to the lack of access to capital but the co-op was able to raise €77,000 to launch its clothing brand through a crowdfunding campaign."

Què passaria si la majoria de les empreses fossin #cooperatives?

Xavi Teis (@lacoop57):

”el teixit empresarial seria molt més nombrós, descentralitzat i sense poder individual per condicionar el mercat; tindríem societats més riques i equitatives, per tant, amb més justícia social; i també existiria un model productiu i econòmic molt més respectuós amb les persones i el planeta que ens acostaria a escenaris molt més justos, humans i sostenibles."

Legally Canada could expropriate the assets of foreign-owned Canadian media.

Also, why not even pay them the fair price for what they're worth, which is a deal because they've been bleeding them for years.

How? Remember Canada Savings Bonds?

I'd buy a Canadian Media Bond/share.

In a hot second. Also, look up BCRIC shares; I still have mine:

We just sent out a newsletter with a bunch of stories from the cooperative ecosystem that caught our attention—find the web version here: village.one/garden/newsletter/

Mentioned in it: @fontstand @limeleaf @101lab @GenoDigital @Greenheart @demnext @bocoup @hostsharing @subvertworld @workers_coop @tazgetroete and more

The photo is from a documentary about the Liberated Broom cooperative, also linked in the newsletter.

Friends who are interested in #cooperatives, #commons, and #solidarityeconomy, please make a donation to GEO.coop. I found GEO when I was first learning about solidarity economy, submitted an article or two, and ended up joining the collective. A look at the website shows what a unique independent resource GEO is, covering organizing efforts around the world, sharing the work of leading theorist-practitioners like Jessica Gordon-Nembhard and @luisrazeto . :TwinPines:
