Ohio Co-op Solidarity Tour

Across Ohio, co-ops have been working hard to create an economy that works for all. June 5th through 7th, Ohio co-op ecosystems are coordinating a series of events to build relationships and collectively learn from all the different ways people across the state are building a world beyond racial capitalism through co-ops. We're kicking things off in Cleveland on June 5th and then continuing down through Columbus, Dayton, and ending in Cincinnati on June 7th.
