** Economic Democracy Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly begins with an account of how cultural co-ops in Oakland, CA, build on African co-op traditions. Next, we look at a food co-op organizing campaign in Louisville’s Smoketown neighborhood and how their efforts are finally taking shape. Then, we offer a story on how a food co-op was formed in West Dayton, OH. Lastly, we highlight a webinar from 2019 in which co-op leaders identified lessons learned from a co-op in Greensboro, NC, that fell short—lessons that inform co-op organizing today.
