Dear friends in the Labor Movement,
The Office of Community Engagement is sponsoring a free lunch for those interested in cooperative businesses! Please see the details below. Shauvan Evans will be facilitating. I hope you are able to join us. The registration link is at the end of this email.
As you know, I am excited about the possibility of union worker-owned co-ops here in Kentucky and Louisville (modelled on those in Cincinnati and Dayton), and also about UFCW’s recent win at the consumer Good Foods co-operative.
Everyone, please share with anyone you know interested in starting or converting to a co-op.
Finally, I apologize for the mass email nature of this. I am happy to have seen several of you lately and hope to run into others of you soon!

Co-op Summit
You are invited to participate in the first ever Co-op Summit hosted by the University of Louisville at its campus in the Portland neighborhood. The Co-op Summit will bring together individuals involved in the co-op movement and those interested in learning more about co-ops. Topics to be covered in the Summit include:
- What is a co-op and the benefits of having a co-op? What are examples of existing
co-ops?
- How does the co-op model benefit individuals and the community as a whole?
- What is the role of co-ops and their importance?
- What sources are available to finance a co-op?
In solidarity,
