Tremendous piece by @aomuse
"Networks are destabilized when any of these individuals leave the group because they lose the invisible labor of that participant too."

"Value is a myth. It is the sum total of the stories we tell ourselves individually and collectively about what we are worth in this world. It is important that we honor our role in changing those stories." Ht @aomuse

Fascinating new article by @aomuse who I work with at @o_c_foundation. The invisible labor that holds networks together is a "tyranny of valuelessness". With shoutouts to @greaterthxn and others thinking and experimenting in this space. medium.com/postgrowth/valuin…

Great food for thought by @aomuse on "the tyranny of valuelessness" that many networks get overwhelmed by. Thanks for the shoutouts to @greaterthxn and our Thriving Networks course <3

"Co-ops stem from historic economics in marginalized communities, so it was no surprise to see co-ops included in a @Mvmnt4BlkLives policy" Powerful talk by Ashleigh Eubanks in the @USFWC Worker Co-op session about worker cooperatives for liberation ✊🏾 #WorkerCoops2020

"When we run our workplaces, we have effectively organized ourselves & seized power & we can make real demands on capital & real demands on political power. Running for office as a worker leader no longer seems like a job for other people because it is a job for us."
