Growing and sustaining our cooperative ecosystem as part of the solidarity economy.

THE SOIL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SEEDS
Minneapolis-based artist and cultural organizer, Ricardo Levins Morales, reminds us that, in movement building, “the soil is more important than the seeds.” In this metaphor, we understand the soil represents the ideas, beliefs, values, and narratives that create the environment in which we work and the seeds represent the campaigns, businesses, organizations, and institutions that we want to build.
At Cooperate CT, the soil represents the collective consciousness around the principles and practices of cooperation. In addition to preparing the soil, our network aims to build the infrastructure needed to nourish and propagate local cooperative businesses and worker-centered organizations.
