Worker co-ops co-wrote "OTO" to inform workers about a buyout if the business they work at is selling.
This bill provides a critical pathway to preserve jobs and business while building democracy and infrastructure.

Co-ops do business better! Cooperatives are guided by the Cooperative Principles and these guidelines put our values into practice. The roots of these principles are credited to the first modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England in 1844. #coopmonth

It's #CoopMonth! By embracing the cooperative model, we tap into our collective power, building a future rooted in cooperation, justice & liberation. Nexus staff Nkuli, Leanna & Christina share what led them to cooperative work, the cooperators who've inspired them, and key co-ops along the way.

Thanks to @oppfinance.bsky.social for a great conference in New Orleans. It is so valuable to connect with fellow #CDFIs where we can talk about how co-ops are critical for a just society as well as how CDFIs are responding to gaps from traditional lenders nationwide. #CoopMonth #coopsyear #ofn41

It was so good to be at the Co-opportunity Fair with Austin Cooperative Business Association last week and see so many co-ops serving their communities. Thanks to ACBA and to everyone who made this great event happen. #gocoop #CoopMonth #coopsyear #CoopsBuildABetterWorld

We had a great time at Sazonblea - a conference organized by @conmijente.bsky.social - a social, cultural, and political festival for the Latinx movement ecosystem. Great to see collaborators and important work happening. Thanks to Mijente for a great conference and #gocoop #CoopMonth #coopsyear.

Happy #coopmonth from Garlic and Roses. As grocery chain conglomerates and billionaire-owned media companies continue to put profits over everything, cooperatives invest in people and their communities. The cooperative difference is real and we're proud to tell their stories. garlicandroses.coop
