🌟 Our Chicago Worker Cooperatives Matchmaker brought cooperators, service providers, and many curious folks to network and share deep discussions on worker ownership! 🎤 We were honored to kick it off with Nneka Onwuzurike from the Mayor’s Office and hear from experienced panelists like Sequane Lawrence, Megan Gordon, and Mike Strode. Thanks to everyone who made it happen! 🌱 #DAWI #DemocracyAtWork #CoopPower #ChicagoCooperatives #WorkerOwnership

Our RRC Program works hard so excluded workers get access to good jobs and a better quality of life for their families and communities. This is why we're so excited to share about our new RRC Cohort. This cohort is a space for co-op developers and actors to learn more about Rapid Response Cooperatives so this model helps as many excluded workers as possible. Let's keep going! #WeAreDAWI #DAWI #WorkerCooperatives #WorkerCoop
