Movimiento Cooperativo

Movimiento Cooperativo, or the Cooperative Movement, refers to a philosophy and practice where individuals come together to form organizations that are owned and operated by the members for their mutual benefit. This approach emphasizes cooperation over competition, allowing members to pool resources, share profits, and make decisions democratically. Cooperatives can take various forms, including consumer co-ops, where members buy goods together, and worker co-ops, where employees own the business. The movement promotes values like solidarity, self-help, and community, aiming to improve social and economic conditions for its members.
