 The dream of a Latino textile cooperative in western North Carolina

Within the framework of the Universidad Popular by Poder Emma, an industrial sewing workshop is underway. For now, they offer free classes in Spanish to the local Latino community. In the future, they plan to turn the space into a worker-owned textile cooperative that elevates the sewing trade and creates dignified jobs for the community.

La UE impedirá a partir julio que las grandes empresas destruyan ropa, complementos y calzado no vendidos. Esta medida parece de puro sentido común. La cuestión es si, además de ser sensata, logrará hacer la moda más sostenible.
