💙During Tightshift's first 2 years, we learned a tremendous amount about the intersection of cooperative work, housing, and healing. We're excited to continue to learn and grow in community in a way that can be scaled and replicated gofundme.com/tightshift

thank you @capitalimpact 💙
W/employment so hard to attain for #returningcitizens -particularly ppl of color- many have to create their own opportunities by starting businesses. One example is @tightshift, a laboring #coop in #DC area founded by & employing #returningcitizens good.is/articles/tightshift-… #BHM
Tho there are historical examples, currently models of economy democracy (like #workercoops) are rarely accessible to ppl who’ve been incarcerated. We’ve learned a lot about the intersection of coops, housing, & healing. Pls support our next phase & share! gofundme.com/tightshift

Both sides of the aisle in Washington should agree on this: US Citizens should be given a second chance after they atone for their mistakes! #Cooperative enterprises are another great solution! @glennEmartin @tightshift @GEO_Collective #GoCoop
Join us as we celebrate the birthday of MLK by talking with Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard about cooperatives as a solution for racial and economic justice!
