"Here in the US, October 1 marks the start of National Co-op Month. It’s a time
to celebrate cooperatives and the pivotal role they play in building the
solidarity economy. Co-ops’ rich history demonstrates that they have the
ability to act as a building block for creating a more equitable economy and
are able to thrive resiliently in times of economic upheaval. They take many
forms and their reach spans industries — the US alone is home to over 30,000
cooperatives from credit unions to resident-owned utilities.
In the spirit of commemorating this solidarity staple, here’s how we’re
celebrating all things co-op this month — and how you can too"
Via Muse, who wrote "October is COOP month! As in “co-operative” not “chicken
coop”. One of the first bits of activism I ever did when I went to university
was open an account with a credit cooperative. A friend then gave me the gift
of a membership with PCC Community Markets for buying locally grown organic
food. Coops aren’t just great for the goods and services they provide, they are
also great for workers!
I want to know who else supports coops and which ones you belong to!"
