The Cooperative Economy
10 months ago
Boycotting plutocratic big business is good. Supporting alternative systems is even better. When you spend at a co-op, your money benefits community members, not a wealthy elite. You also support a democratic institution in the economy, which strengthens democracy overall. Shop co-op.
