AdVANCING ECONOMIC JUSTICE
Co-op Ed Center (CEC) focuses on advancing economic justice by bringing awareness, training, and developing cooperatives in BIPOC communities. Our mission is to build worker cooperatives and other solidarity-based entities in communities across Chicagoland that abide by values of equity, cooperation, solidarity, and democracy.
Our Programs
We envision a restorative economy built through worker cooperatives and centered on education, solidarity, and collective self-determination. We define a restorative economy as the process of assisting the recovery of communities that have been degraded, damaged, or excluded by the current economic system.
