Works for All: Celebrate International Co-op Month with this Amazing Film
Friday, October 25, 6:30 PM Human Agenda Office, 1060 N. 4th St., 2ndFl. In Back
The United Nations declared October as International Coop Month, and it is time to celebrate!
Works for All portrays the inspiring stories of worker-owned cooperatives and union coops within the network of Co-op Cincy. Led by individuals often marginalized from the mainstream economy, the film showcases how worker ownership transforms lives and communities. Acclaimed filmmakers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young also produced Shift Change. Both films focus on democratic workplaces.
Park in the back and climb the stairs at the left of the building. Light snacks will be served at 6:30 followed by the 30-minute documentary at 7 PM. Discussion will follow.
“As a film about co-ops, this one is a must-see. It is unique and important in that it highlights both the role that unions have played in supporting co-op development, and it looks at the context of building co-ops in struggling communities, where many of those involved are people of color.”
— Emily Kawano, Wellspring Cooperative
"Co-op Cincy has been plowing new ground, both literally and figuratively, sowing the seeds for a better future since 2011, and Works for All gives us first-person accounts about the power of worker-ownership from these workers themselves."
— Rob Witherell, United Steelworkers
Están invitados este viernes a celebrar el Mes Internacional de las Cooperativas.
Las cooperativas surgen del amor y son una comunidad que crea una sociedad en la que todos ganan y todos son co dueños. Claro que esto implica tener muchos beneficios y también responsabilidades ya que tú eres dueño(a) de tu cooperativa. Existen diferentes tipos de cooperativas. Ven y acompáñanos si deseas conocer mas acerca de lo que es una cooperativa.
