Hey Co-op Supporters,
Thank you for RSVPing to the hearing that we’d hoped to have in Dec. We now have a new date for the hearing:
Tuesday, Jan 24th
4pm @ Boston City Hall.
If you’re still able to join us on this new date, please RSVP here on the new form!
And whether you can be there or not, help spread the word by sharing the event on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/events/1630407257264694/>
Thank you for making this big event happen!
More info on the Hearing
We’ll be sharing the stories of worker, consumer, and housing cooperatives
in the Boston area and educating our elected officials about the potential
for building a more just and cooperative economy.
We’ll be asking for support in three areas:
- Technical Assistance: Grants and support for co-op development.
- Financing: Loans and city investments for purchasing businesses, properties, and new startups.
- Policy reform: Changes to zoning code, city contract procurement, city programs, etc.
The number of people that show up on the 24th will send a message to the city about how seriously they should support cooperatives. A big turnout for this one hearing could shape the dynamics of our meetings and advocacy work for years to come.
So join us if you can, invite a friend, and share the event on social media.
This is a rare opportunity to make a dramatic difference in the cooperative economy of our city.
