- Interests
- Grassroots Economic Organizing, (GEO) is a decentralized collective of educators, researchers and grassroots activists working to promote an economy based on democratic participation, worker and community ownership, social and economic justice, and ecological sustainability--a "solidarity economy"--through grassroots journalism, organizing support, cross-sector networking and movement-building and the publication of educational and organizational resources. We organize conferences and public dialogues, and produce an online quarterly newsletter about worker cooperatives, democratic workplaces, and the solidarity economy at www.geo.coop. We organized a mini-conference on “Advancing the Development of Worker Cooperatives” July 8, 2011 in Baltimore at the beginning of the Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy, and published a news letter on this subject (Vol. 2, No. 8).
