Curious about our solar development work? This article describes some of our journey towards building community-owned solar in Cleveland. The work continues!

‘The economy is the something we created. A better economy is something we can also create.’ We’re inspired by this overview of community wealth building from @DemocracyCollab youtu.be/ILroOt25MvI

Broad-based, locally rooted ownership would transform the Browns and its relationship with Cleveland. Today, the team's billionaire owners and their cabal (the NFL) stand in the way. Our own @WelleJonathan on what's at stake in the fight for community ownership of the Browns.
I’m in @clevelanddotcom on why community ownership is the right next step for the Browns, and what needs to happen to get there. @Cleveland_Owns is already building community ownership through co-ops. With the Browns, the Haslams & NFL stand in the way. cleveland.com/opinion/2024/1…

A ray of light in a wild week: Today we gathered for week 6 of our housing co-op study group. More than 50 people have taken a deep look at housing co-op finance, governance, and culture building.  We envision at-cost housing owned by residents, without extractive owners.

Cooperatives are more than businesses; they’re a powerful tool for building resilient and inclusive communities. 🌍 Co-ops focus on people over profit, reinvesting in local communities and creating jobs that empower workers. #CommunityWealth #CoopMonth #WorkerCoops

Is the Modell Law a cheap legal trick? Or is it a realistic way for fans – rather than corrupt billionaires – to finally own the Browns? Community ownership works in Green Bay and around the world. Here’s what it could take to make it work here in CLE x.com/Cleveland_Owns/status/…

How could community ownership of the Browns work? 🧵 With the Haslams, the billionaire owners of the Browns, threatening to move if they don't get a fat public subsidy, residents of Cleveland may have a chance to buy the team. Really?!?!! Really! signalcleveland.org/art-mode…

If only states could ban #monopoly utility corporations from spending money on ballot initiatives entirely. Whether it's state clean energy policy or local public power campaigns, the public interest always gets hit with a utility campaign cash cannon. Loaded by your bill!
This terrific ballot initiative faces Maine voters because their foreign-owned electric utility spent $40 million in last year's election to avoid a public takeover of their high-cost, worst-service business: ilsr.org/articles/utility-mi…
