@Vanessalgibson @Salamancajr80, The BX can't afford @NYCMayor's crumbs. #DefundNYPD by AT LEAST $1B in FY21. We don't need the 7th largest army in the world. We need investment in health, education, housing, the environment, and #economicdemocracy. #NYCBudgetJustice @NYCCouncil

#WCBDI funding gave worker cooperatives in the Bronx like TRIBE Co-Create Cooperative and White Pine Community Farm access to business incubators, and help with accounting, financial analyses. Fully fund #WCBDI so we can keep supporting BIPOC-run businesses in NYC!

So many of our borrower businesses have been able to keep going thanks to cooperation, innovation, and community relief efforts in the cooperative movement. Could this pandemic reveal the true strengths of worker ownership? truthout.org/articles/pandem…

We're so proud to work with the team at Bright Learning Stars in Brooklyn. They've worked so hard to create a warm, educational, loving community with their daycare. Seeing them lay themselves off is heartbreaking.
Please donate to support these workers building the new economy!
