Had my first ride share experience with @TheDriversCoop in NYC. It was as good or better than Lyft/Uber for me while better for the drivers who own it as a #Cooperative. I can't wait until this expands to other cities! Will be my new 1st choice in supported cities. #gocoop

The first #WorkerCoop conversion in #Vermont to be partially financed by my organization's revolving loan fund, Vermont Computing Cooperative, has just paid that loan back in full with interest, so it will be available to the next group of employees of modest means seeking to #GoCoop... 💖

Where do you keep your money? If the answer ends with the word "bank," you're doing it wrong. Put your money into cooperatively owned financial institutions. You can find a credit union in your area here: http://bit.ly/2HGlKw5 If you want help identifying which credit unions you can join.... @ me. #GoCoop #CreditUnions

If you support the #buytwitter campaign and are on #birdsite, please consider lending your RTs to this thread from BuyThisPlatform asking major #Twitter shareholder to vote yes on a feasibility study concerning a sale to user-ownership! If it gets traction, this play could spark serious public conversation around the ownership and control of social platforms... https://twitter.com/BuyThisPlatform/status/850349095914840065
