October: Launch of Brightly® Washington Heights!

by Economic Well-being ProgramsNews and Events

In October, Center for Family Life celebrated the launch of the fourth cooperative to join Brightly® Cooperatives, a social franchise of worker-owned enterprises improving working conditions and revolutionizing economic opportunity for worker-owners (most of whom are immigrant women in the cleaning industry from low-wealth communities). We are incredibly proud of the worker-owners with whom we partner and our Cooperative Development Program staff who have worked for 14 years to dismantle systemic oppression and develop worker cooperatives grounded in principles of democracy, equity, solidarity, and community self-determination.
