Building an economy that meets the needs of all people and the planet over profit.
Cooperate Connecticut is a membership-based network catalyzing cooperative ownership and power on the occupied territories of the Eastern Pequot, Golden Hill Paugussett, Lenape, Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Nipmuc, and Schaghticoke also known as the state of Connecticut.
We bring co-ops and supporters across the state together to grow our local cooperative ecosystem through increasing access to information, education, skill based training, technical and material support, networking, and collaboration.
Upcoming Programs
From networking and peer support groups to webinars and training intensives Cooperate Connecticut has something for the co-op curious and those already part of cooperatives or other solidarity economy initiatives.
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.
