This past Tuesday, we came together for our Self Interest training as part of our MLI Training Series

New and returning members explored what motivates people to take action, how self-interest can be a powerful took for organizing, and ways to build stronger relationships that create meaningful change in our communities. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the conversation!

There's still one more opportunity to be part of this summer's training series! Join us us on July 21 from 6-8 for our final session, 1-on-1s, where we will learn relationship building and leadership development skills that are essential to effect community organizing!

Why do we care about co-ops anyway? 🤔

At Co-Op Fest, you’ll meet all kinds of co-ops - from worker-owned businesses to housing co-ops and everything in between.

We’re proud to be part of this growing movement where we build power through shared ownership, equity, and decision-making. 💛 Come learn more about how we are practicing economic justice through a new economy that puts people first!

Join us on Saturday, June 27 at Five Points Bakery for a day rooted in people power and collective care, led by and benefiting Cooperation Buffalo!

The rent is too damn high! Only 3 days left for Albany lawmakers to protect tenants from skyrocketing rents by expanding rent stabilization across NYS. Call your NYS legislator today to demand they pass the REST Act.

Yesterday we rolled up to the district offices of WNY legislators to demand support for a statewide data center moratorium. Data centers consume massive amounts of energy and water resources, raise electricity bills, create localized pollution, destroy ecosystems, threaten the sovereignty of indigenous Nations, and enrich the 1%.

Let's get the job done and stop data center development in our communities - bit.ly/SpeakerHeastieMoratorium
