From the organizers, People’s Economy Lab:

Event description: At People’s Economy Lab, we envision an economy where everyone has an affordable place to live. We’re also working toward a future where there is no racial wealth gap. But what’s the best way to reach both of those goals?

In our current economy, privately owning a home is one of the clearest paths toward financial stability and building wealth for generations. And yet, public, social, and cooperatively owned housing offer the potential for permanent affordability and wealth that accrues to the whole community.

As leaders in building a more just economy, and as people taking care of ourselves and our families, what should we put our resources behind? How do we navigate the contradictions of private asset building to close the racial wealth gap now and our long-term vision of an economy where housing is secure for everyone?

Join us on Zoom on July 17, 12-1pm, for a Lunch Lab exploring this topic. You'll hear from guest speakers Tiffani McCoy, the Interim CEO of Seattle Social Housing Developer, and Pearl Nelson, a housing associate at Homestead Community Land Trust.

Cooperative & Community Ownership Models – a 2026 COO Learning Series

Join the COO Learning Community and Seattle Co-Operators Meetup group as we hear from Shevanthi Daniel, the Deputy Director at the Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI), a sister organization to the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives. Shevanthi will share:

• About the Federation and DAWI - what they do and how they work together

• Highlights and stories from recent research, policy changes, and models from the national co-op ecosystem

• What attendees can anticipate at this year’s upcoming USFWC Conference and the benefits of attending.

We will also hear from guest speaker Spencer, who will talk about his experience attending last year’s Worker Co-op Conference as a first-time attendee and his experience meeting other worker co-operators.

Finally, attendees will hear briefly about the opportunity to apply for a COO Learning Community scholarship to attend the upcoming 2026 USFWC Worker Co-op Conference, this September 25-26 in Boston, MA. COO will run a scholarship to send 3-5 folks to the conference. The conference is hosted by the U.S Federation of Worker Cooperatives and is a great opportunity to learn from and connect with others building, working in and moving forward the cooperative ecosystem in the U.S. and internationally.

Registration is now open for this June’s COO All-Partner Convening! This year’s convening is designed to bring together organizations, coalitions and partnership groups working to build power and create greater equity through policy, systems, and environmental changes (PSE change) across the COO partner network.  

As in years past, these convenings are an opportunity for partners from across the COO network to: 

• Share space, stories, wisdom, and expertise;  

• Build connections that support an ecosystem of systems & policy change work and community power building; 

• And, strengthen collective capacity to uplift our stories of impact and meaningful change.  

This year we will come together to strengthen the capacity and infrastructure for sharing stories of collective impact – and the many ways that you all have built community power and impacted communities across King County for greater health, economic opportunity, affordable housing, and civic leadership. This year’s convening sessions will build upon the connections and knowledge shared at the cohort gatherings.  

Our funded partners will get an invitation and registration link from their Program Managers. Please contact us at info@coopartnerships.org if you have questions.
