[sustainable_tompkins-l] Fwd: The Worker Cooperative Businesses Model at Finger Lakes Social Entrepreneurship Institute

[Gay Nicholson]

Joe Marrafino, from the Democracy at Work Institute ,
speaking at the

Finger Lakes Social Entrepreneurship Institute

How can we extend the promise of cooperative business ownership to reach
communities most directly affected by social and economic inequality?
Worker cooperatives have a proven track record of providing healthy,
sustainable, wealth generating jobs.  Learn the process of starting a
worker cooperative and how the model can reach new communities of
worker-owners, particularly low-income people, people of color and recent
immigrants.

We Don’t Need a ‘War’ on Climate Change, We Need a Revolution
NYT 10/31/16

I find this this article to be very valuable
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/31/opinion/we-dont-need-a-
war-on-climate-change-we-need-a-revolution.html?smprod=
nytcore-ipad=nytcore-ipad-share&_r=0



excerpt:

What would winning a “war” against climate change even look like? McKibben
suggests a huge mobilization to produce green technologies, solar panels,
wind turbines and electric cars. He cites the public seizure and
transformation of private factories during World War II that enabled the
United States to produce bombers and other instruments that helped win the
war.

Certainly greener technologies can help, but solar panels won’t purify
Flint’s lead-ridden water or lower asthma rates in the Bronx, some of the
highest in the country because of the proximity to trucking lanes.
Technology alone can’t address the environmental injustice
disproportionately confronting minorities. However, if we understand that
the enemy is not our physical environment, but the unjust social relations
that allow some to gain at the expense of and risk to others, then
technological solutions can be a part, but only a part, of the plan.
Crucial to this plan is gaining social control over the private,
exploitative and even irresponsible direction of the human-nature
metabolism.

For this reason, Naomi Klein has called for solutions that go beyond the
technological. She emphasizes, not just green energy, but also “people
power.” Her most recent book and film, “This Changes Everything: Capitalism
vs. the Climate,” feature a number of grass-roots movements resisting the
forces that threaten people’s relationships with their environment —
sometimes even in the name of “green” solutions, such as hydroelectric dam
projects. We want to follow Klein’s lead in shifting the conceptual focus
from technologies of power to relations of power.
