With the leadership of our new staff member, Sean, the co-ops are heading in a new direction. We are launching our policy equity assessment and renewing our focus on anti-oppression trainings and workshops for all coop members. We are also excited to launch a monthly newsletter!
In the spirit of our motto, “We own it!”, this publication belongs to all of us. As it aligns with our mission, this is a space for you to share your poetry, weird politics, upcoming events and whatever else defines you. We hope that this newsletter, in addition to other practices, will afford us the opportunity to create a more transparent, communicative, and collaborative cooperative network. To all our new members, welcome! To everyone who has been here a while, thanks for stickin’ around.
