Small Co-ops Bring Big Changes to Their Communities
International Cooperative Day is the annual celebration of the cooperative movement, celebrated on the first Saturday of July, which this year is July 1. The celebration aims to increase awareness about cooperatives and their contributions to economic and social development, as well as promote the movement’s ideas of international solidarity, equality, and world peace.
What it means to be a member of a Co-op
In a cooperative, that is our goal—the common good. Working for the common good sometimes means we accept policies or outcomes that we might not have chosen ourselves.
