BRED Co-op Industry Afternoon

Do you have an idea for starting a coop? Ever think about joining a coop and becoming a worker-owner? Join BRED on Feb. 11th from 1-3 pm for our Co-op Industry Afternoon. You will hear from three different businesses that are either in the start-up phase of building their coop or are currently operating as a coop. These businesses are looking to get their name out and expand their worker-owner base. This is a great event to network with potential and current worker-owners, meet others in the coop ecosystem, and share your ideas with industry folks. The developing cooperatives that will be with them sharing information are:
1) Micro Mobile Business Accelerator
A collaborative citywide social enterprise using cargo bicycles as vehicles for use with startup businesses, and community-led initiatives while promoting environmentalism and accessibility.
2) Prism Hair
A worker-owned salon and bodyworks collective. Their aim is to create a new industry standard for how salons operate and to put power back into the hands of the individual stylist/practitioner. Salons are and always have been a hub of the community and our main goal is to work together to overturn standards in place, furthering accessibility to essential services.
3) Baltimore Broken Glass
Baltimore Broken Glass is a Baltimore-based zero-waste business with a mission to advance community-led zero-waste solutions to our broken waste system. BBG is working to expand capacity for their worker-owned cooperative to collect glass from local residents and businesses to ensure that this incredible material is recycled and re-used and never landfilled or incinerated.
Register today and we'll see you on February 11th!
