As local cooperators, we are reaching out to our regional cooperatives and cooperative supporters with a re-launch of the Bay Area Cooperative Association, including a fresh online presence here at bayarea.coop. Today is the 100th International #CoopsDay and the theme, aptly, is #CoopsBuildABetterWorld. We believe that the cooperative model has potential to help make possible the personal and social transformation needed to halt our ecological crisis and build a more equitable world for everyone. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we already know that – it’s why we have so many wonderful, thriving co-ops here. Do you want to know more about the cooperative model? Maybe, how to start your own co-op? We hope to provide you with the resources, connections, and support needed to make that possible as we expand our programs in the coming weeks and months.
We have much more to share in the near future. For now, happy 100th International Day of Cooperatives!
In solidarity,
Matt and Elissa
