October is National Cooperative Month
Every October, cooperatives across the globe celebrate co-op month. This year’s theme, Co-ops Build Economic Power, is a chance to lift up the cooperative business model to build an economy that empowers everyone. As people face inflation and supply chain challenges, cooperatives provide stability and opportunity, create dignified, empowering jobs with paths to ownership and wealth-building, and put diversity and equity at the heart of an inclusive economy.
