This brief, developed in partnership with the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives (USFWC), Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC), and participating organizations, describes worker-owned cooperatives, democratic workplace practices, and other forms of collective governance for grassroots organizations to more effectively transform the systems, structures, policies, and environments that underlie inequity and injustice. Access the brief ➜ The Praxis Project will be closed for the week of November 22 - November 26th for our team to collectively rest, relax, and recharge. The work to dismantle systems of oppression is hard, we must all rest in order to replenish our energy and continue the fight.

We look forward to being back in touch on November 29th. - POLICY NEWS & ACTION - Support the Equality Act!
