Body paragraph

CNC (Sarah and Chris) interviews Rek Kwawer of MadWorc (Madison, Wisconsin) cooperative. After delving into what MadWorc is, we talked about the Worker Co-op Solidarity Fund, Co-op Connection Network, and some of the intersections of incarceration and worker cooperativism. As we wound down the interview afterwards, we touched a trade school class MadWorc is busily involved in. This episode ends with an experimental announcements section with Gromke (CNC).
