Chris interviews worker-owners from Wholehearted Bookkeeping Co-op, Sunset Scholars, and Breadfruit Cooperative.

Connie Canney was a white woman who I believe epitomized what real solidarity is, long before people even called it that. Solidarity is how you live your life in support of human beings – even when you could lose a lot taking the right stance.

Nebula describes itself as a group that supports “survivors of battering, SA, IPV & DV with community & physical resources in crisis & in their empowerment”. They also “ assist neighbors & mutual aid groups learning how to build liberatory practices in their groups.”

Chris interviews two attendees of the 2024 USFWC Conference, Frida Ballard and Damon Etawlyah.

Co-founder of two worker co-ops, Yochai Gal, joins us to talk about his co-op's recent merger with another tech worker cooperative, and how the new co-op incorporated the best of both of the worker co-ops that formed it. Then Yochai shares his (rather critical) thoughts on the trajectory of the USFWC over the last several years, and why he thinks it has largely failed to fulfill it's original goals.

In this article I’m exploring the potential for sex and single parenthood to be arenas that hold answers to interpersonal liberation and deeper solidarity.

En 2010, el Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI, por sus siglas en inglés) era un proyecto de la USFWC y aún no se había lanzado como una organización independiente sin fines de lucro, pero McNamara vio el potencial de DAWI para proporcionar una mayor infraestructura crítica para el movimiento.

The Democracy at Work Network was an organization of worker co-op peer advisors that operated successfully for several years, assisting fledgling worker co-ops by offering technical assistance from experienced worker-owners, on a sliding price scale.

This year is the 20th Anniversary of the formation of the USFWC. To celebrate, GEO is asking cooperators to share their experiences in the US worker cooperative movement over the last two decades (and beyond).

We need our national and international organizations to join us. I call on others to participate in building the movement while reframing and redirecting the Federation to become a member-controlled and -focused organization once again.
