Get ready for Worker Coops 101 at Creativetime! 🎨 Join art.coop and Democracy at Work Institute at Creativetime and learn what you might have missed in art school! In this workshop, we will introduce worker cooperatives as a sustainable business model that can allow you to build a resilient creative practice while paying the bills. We'll share successful examples of worker cooperatives (and cooperatives more broadly) as a means of equitably organizing cultural workers and creatives. We'll answer burning questions and offer free technical assistance for emerging creative cooperators during our office hours throughout the day.

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

Excited to be a part of this! | ¡Emocionades de ser parte de esto!
