“Co-operatives are not utopias — they are, after all, run by humans — but they do provide a structure for democratic decision-making, fairness and security. None of us is an island unto ourselves.

We need each other to ensure we all have the necessities of life — and the co-operative structures — to grapple with the existential threats we all face including climate change, the rise of disinformation and authoritarianism.”

Congrats #Georgia there is hope for you! When I lived in #GA in the late 80’s (for a hot minute) #racism was so blatant I had to get out. Being from the #northeast I wasn’t used to that. #bipoc were so #oppressed and yes it’s still very deep and very dangerous. Yet there is #hope today! 💜 May ⏰ #heal the pain and #empowerpeople ☮️
