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.

@celesteh I’m sure I’ve seen stuff in cooperative resources but brain fog is stopping me remembering, so I'm not as useful as I'd hope… Worth having a look at https://www.uk.coop/support-your-co-operative/governance-advice-and-support though there’s a lot to plough through. People Support might have some good resources too. https://peoplesupport.coop/ and paging #cooperatives #coops #WorkerCoops

And of course there’s Michael Young’s “I said DON’T build the torment nexus, you fools” piece https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2001/jun/29/comment

Anyone have recommendations for non-SaaS/cloud software for accounting, specifically payroll and invoicing? Super big bonus if it is geared toward/has an extension for worker co-ops.
