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

New translation up on @igd_news:

"This is a Network of feminist and transfeminist organizations that inhabit Abya Yala with diversity and the challenge of articulating our multiple perspectives. Here we converge as collectives, organizations, and projects from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela, where we come weaving with needle and thread the questions that keep our trajectories and journeys in motion, with practices that arise from the discomfort with punitive Patriarchal Justice and the network of violences it brings together: the appropriation and exploitation of bodies, territories, and knowledges in order to generate privileges and the accumulation of wealth."

Solidarity actions with hunger-striking antifascist Maja T

Solidarity actions have been taking place over the last days with Maja T, a non-binary anti-fascist activist and one of the accused in the Budapest case. Maja, who has been on hunger strike since June 5, was transferred Tuesday to a prison hospital near the Romanian border in critical condition. According to relatives, they have lost around twelve kilograms of weight.

Their 2024 extradition from Germany to Hungary was ruled unlawful by the Federal Constitutional Court in April, but Maja remains in pre-trial detention under what supporters describe as “white torture”: solitary confinement, 24-hour surveillance, denial of hormone therapy, and restricted communication.

"This is a substantial win for us, and we want to extend our deepest gratitude for your steadfast support during our recent labor dispute with Metrowear Two. Your solidarity played a vital role in helping us reach this resolution.

This victory is not just for our members—it’s a testament to what’s possible when workers and communities unite against injustice. We couldn’t have done it without your support, and we are proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with you."

i had lost touch with jane's revenge political prisoner Hridindu Roychowdhury for a little bit, but recently found out that he had been transferred to county jail (and thus without any programming and likely without any of his prior possessions) as punishment for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury. in effect, his federal sentence is frozen in time, even while he's still being jailed for contempt for refusing to snitch.

https://cldc.org/international-day-of-solidarity-with-long-term-anarchist-prisoners-june-11-2025/

Hridindu is a total gem, broadly knowledgable, supremely affable, varied in interests and skills, all around charming individual -- and more than that, a committed anarchist who acted directly against the rising tide of fascistic christian nationalism in the u.s. and took a principled stand in refusing to cooperate with the state.

please write him a note of support, encouragement or solidarity so that he knows people have his back while he faces renewed state repression. his address is:

Hridindu Roychowdhury

While the world’s got its eyes on the war between Israel, the US, and Iran, the Zionist death machine keeps grinding on in Gaza. Our friend Hamza just dropped a gut-wrenching piece showing the brutal desperation of Palestinians trying to grab aid while dodging bullets. Reposting the video from @dropsitenews so y’all can see what that nightmare actually looks like.
