Hi!
We're #newhere and exited to talk to you about #FLOSS, working in #techcooperatives, our #software project LAUTI - Open Source Community Calendar and much more.

My name is Matilda, I am a member of Greenheart Co-op. Interested in #interactiondesign, #systemsdesign and #servicedesign. Specifically in the spirit of e.g #VictorPapanek, #DonellaMeadows. Also in interested in #economics in the spirit of #KateRaworth (#DoghnutEconomics ). Furthermore interested in #tech #frontend #GrowOwnFood #mushroomfarming #TechCooperatives #neuroscience #cognitivescience
In his _Letter from a Birmingham Jail_, #MartinLutherKing emphasizes the importance of #EconomicJustice alongside #SocialJustice and criticizes how white supremacy is happy to take wealth from the hands of Black folks as customers while refusing to provide them with good jobs.
I just ran the numbers for one of my tech #WorkerCooperatives with open-comp + opt-in for self-identifying along several axes.
Non-white team members comprise 53% of our staff and receive ~56% of our total compensation.

Had a lovely chore-night with @anaulin as we did the books for #ZincCoop and published a light quarterly update with our financial statements: https://opencollective.com/zinc-community/updates/q3-2024-update

Two of my #Cooperatives got written up in #CounterPunch. They interviewed @anaulin who is a member of both #CohereCoop and #ZincCoop.

"However, many #TechCooperatives do need an injection of initial money to get started. Luckily, as the #US Federation of #WorkerCooperatives (USFWC) has documented in 'Financing Resources,' a growing number of financial institutions are familiar with #WorkerOwnership and have created programs to support them, including substantial #loans and financial consulting."
