We've started getting an overwhelming number of requests for interviews on cooperativism, community resilience, and related topics, largely from students. Not sure what happened in 2026, but we've gone from a couple requests a year to several a month. It's awesome that there's all this enthusiasm, but we are so under resourced to respond to constant inquiries 😮‍💨

If anyone out there works for an org that wants to fund co-operative education and peer support, we are already doing this work for free, but would do more of it if we had funding!

@firestorm We also get a wildly disproportionate number of requests for interviews and surveys from students / researchers. And -- more fun but less frequent -- from folks trying to actually start their own co-op!
