There’s a lot going on right now - including some powerful progress in our local cooperative movement.
But before we dive in, we want to make sure you save the date for November 19 at 7 pm, Co-op Cincy’s annual event, a futuristic celebration titled “Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 2099,” inspired by the profound 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 can start by looking “back” on the early days of the Business Legacy Fund, with these vintage news clips. Check out these old school hyperlinks to WCPO, the Cincinnati Business Courier, and Impact Alpha.
