Pumpkin spice is stocked, leaves are turning gold… hellooooooo, fall. Are you ready to celebrate cooperatives?
Consider us your cozy co-op sweater, ready to wrap you up in storytelling tools and ideas for October’s National Cooperative Month.
This fall is extra special; the United Nations kicks off the 2025 International Year of Cooperatives in November. That’s right — we’re celebrating cooperation for a FULL YEAR! If only people would support pumpkin spice equally. Sigh.
