Cooperatives, often called co-ops, are enterprises created and managed by people who come together to meet a common need. Members make decisions together and share the benefits based on what they want as a community. How does this approach to sharing wealth, ownership, and decision-making help local communities and workers? And what can we learn from co-ops for building an equitable and just economy?
Join WOMEN'S WAY on July 31st at 4:00 PM EST for their next virtual Closing the Gender Wealth Gap Forum: Exploring Models of Shared Wealth to take a closer look at cooperatives and better understand their role in closing the gender wealth gap and fostering economic justice.
