Online session to present/explain/discuss plans for new federation?

Hi all

The Worker co-op Council brought our plans for a new Worker Co-ops Federation to the worker co-op weekend and got full buy-in from those present, as well as starting to make plans for how to get the thing off the ground in a participative way.

I think this needs complementing with an online session for people who weren't there to be brought up to speed and be able to get involved.

If there are 3 or 4 people who want that session to happen, I'll set a date - it can be out of hours next week or working hours/out of hours w/b 16th, so do express a preference for how soon you'd like it. Maybe we should run it twice...

If this is something you feel strongly about, please also use that motivation to get your fellow co-operators to come along and to sign up to this Loomio group

Sessions

• Monday 25th July - 11-12 - with me & Caleb of Principle 6 and John Atherton (project coordinator)

• Tue 26th - 3-4 - with me & Debbie from Unicorn Grocery

• Wed 27th - 6-7 - with me & Matt from Bartleby's Brewery

• Fri 29th - 1-2 - with me & someone else tbc

They will all take place on meet.coop - if you haven't used it before, it's probably wise to turn up a little bit early to get your audio set up. It is a bit easier to use on a computer than on a phone. I'll be there 10 minutes early to help.

We'll be referencing both this guide/handbook: https://office.workers.coop/s/LybkjyBdop9eC8x and the Heads of Terms between CUK and the Worker Co-op Council.

If you can RSVP beforehand by email to [email protected] that will be very helpful.

Please note also that we're moving discussion of this project away from Loomio and over to the new federation's new forum: forum.workers.coop
