W/employment so hard to attain for #returningcitizens -particularly ppl of color- many have to create their own opportunities by starting businesses. One example is @tightshift, a laboring #coop in #DC area founded by & employing #returningcitizens https://t.co/mdLCnyCXFM #BHM
Tho there are historical examples, currently models of economy democracy (like #workercoops) are rarely accessible to ppl who’ve been incarcerated. We’ve learned a lot about the intersection of coops, housing, & healing. Pls support our next phase & share! https://t.co/Xbw2JuCMzd
