In his _Letter from a Birmingham Jail_, #MartinLutherKing emphasizes the importance of #EconomicJustice alongside #SocialJustice and criticizes how white supremacy is happy to take wealth from the hands of Black folks as customers while refusing to provide them with good jobs.

I just ran the numbers for one of my tech #WorkerCooperatives with open-comp + opt-in for self-identifying along several axes.

Non-white team members comprise 53% of our staff and receive ~56% of our total compensation.

While we have limited public repositories on GitHub for convenience the majority of our open source repos are on Codeberg because of how it is governed as a democratic community-driven, non-profit software development platform.

You'll be seeing more repos as time goes on mostly for Rust, Go, and simple HTML/CSS web apps.

One thing I think could really help is a tech co-op incubator - a Co-Up, so to speak - that helps people wanting to start new co-ops with finding seed funding, as well as things like advice on legal structures, book-keeping and financial reporting, and so on. As well as just creating a pool of like-minded people who've already done it and made it work. Who new co-op founders can reach out to for, support and mentoring when things get tough.

🎉2023 was a year of growth and challenges for Patio!

🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️ We had our first (and second) assembly.
🧬🪪 🖥 We built our identity and landing page.
🤝 We shared many job opportunities, and set up interdisciplinary and inter-cooperative teams.
✈ We participated in global events.

We couldn't be prouder and more grateful!🙏

Thanks to all our supporters and, especially, to the co-ops that build this community every day🌲🌲

See you next year!

I don’t want to go back to agency work!

I’ve already got some client work lined up, but ultimately I’d rather build some commons in a of some sort!
