1,000 Places of Democracy

1,000 Places of Democracy

Campaign to create awareness of value of worker coops for improving the lives of everyone both economically and socially through the application of democracy in the place of work.

• Reach out to towns, libraries, community organizations, financial institutions, individuals, schools, colleges
• Uses fliers, presentations, social media, multiple websites, mobile apps
• Target lower income populations - they need this more than others
• Have presence at carnivals, fairs, festivals, concerts, job fairs, school events
• Promote message of relevance of worker cooperatives to Main Street America
• Democracy in the workplace - how it works and who can do it.
• Create a database of individuals interested in joining a worker co-op and help them network
• Find potential business opportunities to match with people in the database
• Get the domain names "HateMyJob.com" and "LoveMyWork.com" to direct people to worker coop development organizations.  Get them to show in the job searches.  Create similar mobile apps and you tube channels.  Use Twitter so that word can spread quickly.
