Cooperatives as a Form of Resilience and Resistance
Friday, July 25, 2025, 3:00 – 4:30 pm
Aubergine: A Willy Street Co-op Community Space
1226 Williamson St, Madison, WI
Light refreshments will be provided.
Join us for an insightful discussion with Jerome Warren, a German-American political economist focused on the intersection between democracy, cooperation, sustainability, and business. He will share examples of successful cooperative economies in other countries, explore how cooperatives can not only revitalize rural economies and help bridge the rural-urban divide, but also act as bulwarks against fascism and authoritarianism, and offer ideas and inspiration for funding the work. Jerome will also share insights from his recent and forthcoming co-edited volumes, the Routledge Handbook of Cooperative Economics & Management and Global Cooperative Economics and Movements.
