A Message from Rosewood Co-op: We're growing!
 

Rosewood Housing Coop is expanding to a second location in East Austin, opening up ten new housing spots for coopers in our community! We spent the majority of our community's savings in order to secure this lease and we are having a fundraiser to help cover the upfront costs of opening up a brand new cooperative house. Donations go towards expanding cooperative housing in Austin. Every little bit helps us! Suggested donation of $25.

Austin Co-ops Social: Unions and Co-ops on Saturday, June 25

People are ready for a transformation of working conditions in the U.S. After enduring years of pandemic, unsafe working conditions, increased job precariousness and layoffs, supply chain disruptions, and rising income inequality, we are all ready for major changes.

 

Across the country, workers from all sectors are joining forces to demand dignity in their jobs, more control over their workplace, and wages and benefits commensurate with the true value of their labor. By leveraging the power of worker solidarity and collective bargaining, unions provide a powerful tool for addressing these needs across all industries and sectors. Likewise, cooperatives strengthen communities through shared ownership and democratic wealth building.

 

Come learn how unions and cooperatives can solve the challenges faced by workers in the U.S. today.
