A co-op is a business that is jointly owned and democratically controlled by its members. Co-ops are a means for economic liberation and ensure that the money made by the community stays in the community.
The #ShopCoop Campaign promotes the importance of co-ops in our neighborhoods, as well as demonstrating why supporting businesses that are owned by the people that use them, is necessary for our community.
For gifts that can do double duty by also supporting local co-op businesses, take a scroll through our gift guide below - and please share #ShopCoop with your friends and family!
