Movement for the Cooperative Economy

The Movement for a Cooperative Economy promotes the development of businesses owned and operated by their workers or members, emphasizing shared decision-making and profits. It aims to build an economic system that is more equitable, sustainable, and community-focused, contrasting with traditional corporate models driven primarily by profit for shareholders. By supporting cooperative enterprises, the movement seeks to foster economic democracy, strengthen local communities, and ensure that workers have a meaningful stake in their workplaces and outcomes. Overall, it champions an inclusive approach to economic growth that benefits everyday people rather than just a few wealthy individuals or corporations.
