For more than a century, 카지노 사이트 has developed, advanced and protected cooperative enterprise, a trusted and proven way to do 카지노 사이트 게임 and build communities. In 2016, we celebrated our 100th Anniversary by amplifying the impact of cooperatives across the U.S. and around the world. We profiled our members, published op-eds and partnered with the PBS series Visionaries to produce a documentary, âIn the Spirit of Cooperation.â
As we pivot to the next century of supporting 카지노 사이트 게임es that build a better world, 카지노 사이트 is excited to build on this legacy and deepen the footprint of the cooperative movement around the world.
What do a coffee farmer, funeral director, pickle maker and president of a credit union have in common? Theyâre all members of the global cooperative movement. Over six months, the PBS series Visionaries interviewed 카지노 사이트 members and clients across three continents to highlight the success, diversity and impact of the cooperative movement. The hour-long special, called âIn the Spirit of Cooperation,â features five locations spanning the U.S., Africa and Southeast Asia.
Amplifying the Co-op Voice
From a better alternative to crowdfunding a craft brewery startup to why indigenous land matters, our opinion pieces in 2016 highlighted innovative answers to societal and economic challenges. Our work to amplify co-op voices during our 100th Anniversary also includes a podcast series in partnership with Everything Co-op.
