Create a Local Support System for Coops

Cooperatives are essential for creating more equitable communities. They uplift workers, create a fairer economy, and build community wealth and power. For cooperatives to grow and thrive, they need a supportive and connected ecosystem that includes established practitioners, values-aligned technical assistance and financing providers, and political, philanthropic, and institutional investment.

At this session, we will look at the different ways that local leaders are creating robust cooperative ecosystems to meet critical community needs.

We are joined by Zen Trenholm, Senior Director of Employee Ownership Cities and Policy from the Democracy at Work Institute (https://institute.coop/) to share their hands-on experience helping communities develop the language, tools, and infrastructure to build and scale worker ownership.
