We invite you to join us at our annual event, a futuristic celebration titled, "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 2099." This year's event was inspired by the profound reckoning and transformation sparked in Prince's hometown of Minneapolis in 2020. At 7 pm on Thursday, November 19, our community of visionaries, organizers, and cooperative entrepreneurs will look "back" on the ways that Co-op Cincy accelerated the worker co-op movement between 2020 and 2099.
When 2020 brought the start of a profound transformation, Co-op Cincy accelerated our vision of eliminating barriers and creating an economy that works for all, alongside everyday people from all walks of life.
Now we're celebrating nearly a century of transformation, and ready to step into 2100, blessed to live in the equitable, thriving Cincinnati we all created together.
We'll also be joined by partners across the state of Ohio and Turtle Island* to reflect on all they have built since 2020.
We'll start with the steps we took in 2020 and 2021, which we recognize as essential to our new economy. Steps such as:
Building a statewide worker co-op network in Ohio, in partnership with Co-op Dayton and the Ohio Employee Ownership Center
Publishing the Co-op U curricula and legal guides that allowed co-op developers around the country to accelerate cooperative development.
Launching the Business Legacy Fund, which brought a sale to employees within reach for the first several retiring business owners
Building the first national worker cooperative to be co-imagined and co-created within four very different place-based co-op networks
This program will inspire you to connect and co-create with us and our local, national and global community.
