Economic Democracy
A list of folks and organizations who advocate for and support some form of economic democracy: labor unions, worker cooperatives, workplace democracy, worker-owned businesses, cooperativism, community ownership, public ownership, housing co-ops, co-determination, and more.
Worker Cooperatives
As democratic workplaces, worker-owned cooperatives and collectives grant workers a say in business decisions, fostering greater productivity, economic resilience, and worker satisfaction. For a starter pack containing other kinds of worker-owned businesses: https://go.bsky.app/NeCPXj8
Cooperatives
Cooperatives are member-owned and collectively managed businesses that foster democracy in our economy for a more inclusive and equitable society. Studies show that cooperatives are more resilient, survive longer, are more socially oriented, and foster happier workers than other forms of business.
