The result usually forces them to lower care quality standards which can impact their clients adversely.

Accessible virtual pride was born from our disabled queer community members not being included in local in-person prides. Whether that was due to the lack of Covid precautions or inaccessible venues, many events let go of their accessible initiatives. We listened to our community members and decided to work together to put together this event. It has been a resounding success, with many saying it was the first Pride they had ever been able to attend!

Six a.m. Already the women driving into the grassy field that is the parking lot for the Workers’ Owned Sewing Company can feel the 95-degree heat of August days in Windsor, North Carolina. Six had not always been the hour the day shift began, but the Workers’ Owned factory has no air conditioning. So, at the beginning of the summer, the board of directors “called a meeting” at which the workers voted to start their day early in order to finish when the heat of the day became unbearable. 

The Uralungal Labor Contract Co-operative Society (ULCCS) is one of the most celebrated worker co-operatives in India. It’s also the oldest. Founded in Kerala in 1925 under the guidance of the social reformer Vagbhatananda, it began with 14 members and 36 paise (roughly US$0.13 in 1925 currency).

Today, the co-op has 19,272 workers, 13,174 worker-members and a turnover of ₹2,400 crore (US$300m, £220m).
