This tea talk will be a facilitated group discussion around how cooperatives operate and how they can be used for community support in our current political and economic reality. We will explore together how cooperation creates community, interdependence, and mutual support while focusing primarily on worker owned cooperatives (unless the group is more interested in other sectors). Darren Mozenter has spent over 20 years involved with co-ops, with a primary focus on worker owned cooperatives. He currently works supporting worker owned cooperatives throughout MN.
