Manifesto
I want to start a cooperatively owned, democratically run, sustainable and equitably managed business model.
I want to start businesses with people where responsibility, work, ownership, benefits and gains are shared equally and equitably. I want it to be a business model that is non-hierarchical and has rotation of leadership built into its decision-making process.
I want the worker owned coop's intellectual property to be owned by the coop in a non-profit or not for profit manner and that the fruits of the coop are fairly distributed amongst its worker owners.
I want the workers to be paid a fair wage for their work.
I want the coop to be both a replicable model and a successful business.
I want the worker owned coop's intellectual property to be owned by the coop in a non-profit or not for profit manner and that the fruits of the coop are fairly distributed amongst its worker owners.
We should be able to transfer our model to more hierarchical organizations and break down structural inequality in a way that makes these organizations more just and fair while making them stronger and more resilient at the same time.
I propose people who share this vision come together to form an umbrella organization to facilitate this vision.
