Talk
“Cooperatives Around the World”
with Ajowa Ifateyo and Cliff Durand
Tue, March 20, 1 pm
Teatro Santa Ana
$70 pesos.
Cooperatives are a growing alternative to working for a corporation, an alternative where there are no bosses, workers own and manage their own business and receive the benefits of their work rather than enriching absentee investors. Such democratic workplaces are found in the US, here in Mexico, elsewhere in Latin America and in Europe. Sometimes they are started from scratch, sometimes when workers take over a business being abandoned by capitalists.
Ajowa Ifateyo will take us through this new world of cooperatives. She is an active member of the Grassroots Economic Organizing collective (www.geo.coop). The Center for Global Justice’s Cliff DuRand will discuss Cuba’s new cooperatives.The Biblioteca features award winning theater featuring local and international talent. There are also many concerts, movies and lectures scheduled during the week. Please check our events tab for what is happening this week.
