Writer's picture: PPNAPPNA

As part of our Economic Justice at 38th & Chicago series, our first panel focused on Co-operative and Collective economic models as a consideration for creating more equity in our community.


Our Panel:

Christina Nicholson, Nexus Community Partners

Henry Rucker, Project for Pride in Living

Key Takeaways:

- There are many types of cooperative or collective economies, and you are probably already participating in one

- Worker-owned cooperatives benefit employees, businesses, and communities by paying higher wages, reducing employee turnover, creating cultures of ownership, and more

- Lending Circles help people save money while build credit, which is one way we can help more people become homeowners

- We can all play a role in sharing information with our community so people know there are ways to build credit without going into debt and by supporting cooperatives that already exist



Additional resources:
