Venant de souscrire un forfait engagé chez @telecoop , je tombe sur un #podcast de l’ami @nitot 😊

Quel parcours inspirant que celui de Marion Graeffly, une de ses cofondatrices ! 🤩

Lorsque les valeurs et les engagements qui les accompagnent prévalent sur l’ostentation, l’argent, le pouvoir.

Bravo !

V.S.F. shared this sweet review of the Bubble Gum Handknit Hat:

"Got this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves the bright colors! He gets compliments all the time. It even pairs perfectly with his high-viz orange gear when he's landscaping."

Handspun, bright, and clearly made with love.

I'm speaking at @fedicon in a few weeks about @coop but also zooming out to talk about #cooperative digital infrastructures and some of the challenges and delights of trying to build them together. If we haven't yet chatted about this topic, let's!

Thanks to the social.coop admins for all the help in getting us up and running on here at last! As an #introduction, we're a brand-new initiative from social enterprise Libre Digital, we’re going to be utilising multimedia to shed light on issues, spaces, and people from the margins, where insight can be found to help us all choose a different – better – way. We're also working on becoming a #cooperative in our own right. #safety #sustainability #democracy #cooperation #CovidIsNotOver

Year of the Co-ops

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

Did you know the UN has made 2025 ‘International year of co-operatives’?

Co-ops are democratically owned businesses or organisations, with the co-op’s members in control to meet their shared needs. The members may be customers, employees, residents or suppliers.

All co-ops the world over shares the same 7 principles and 10 values.

Around 40% of the UK’s 7000 co-ops are consumer owned – think credit unions, high street Co-op supermarkets and Your Co-op, while over 350 are worker owned e.g. Essential (Food & Household specialists), Footprint Workers Co-op (Riso printers), Go Free Range (Software development revolutionaries: @freerange), Suma (Food, household, toiletries), Veggies (Catering company: @Veggies) and workers.coop (Federation of worker-led cooperatives: @workers_coop). Others can be multi-stakeholder owned such as Webarchitects (Cloud hosting services).

Examples of international co-ops are cosocial (Non profit social media platform: @coop – Canada), Limeleaf (Software developers: @limeleaf – USA), Nubo (Ethical mail & cloud services: @nubo_coop – Belgium), Ouvaton (Hosting & software services: @ouvaton – France) and Society (Digital technologies: @sociality – Greece).

The Labour government did say in its pre-election manifesto that it would double the size of the co-op sector and mutual economy in the UK, but as with many manifesto pledges I wouldn’t hold your breath.

The 10 official co-operative ‘values’ are:

  1. Caring for others
  2. Democracy
  3. Equity
  4. Equality
  5. Honesty
  6. Openness
  7. Self help
  8. Self responsibility
  9. Solidarity
  10. Social responsibility

Capitalism is a hostage situation -Not an economy

Our current #mainstreaming path of paywalls stacked on paywalls isn’t life, it’s a trap, we need a way out. In our everyday lives, we’ve come to accept the absurd:

You pay to eat food grown on land you don’t own,

Pay to sleep under a roof that someone profits from,

Pay to drink water privatized by corporations,

Pay to breathe, because the air is poisoned by industries that sell you both the problem and the solution.

And if you miss a payment? Game over. That’s not a […]
