Dana Pedersen from Cooperation Texas will lead a discussion after screening the new documentary from the Swedish media cooperative Fria Tidningar. “Can We Do It Ourselves?” confronts some common criticisms of cooperative enterprises—that they must be inefficient, inflexible, or otherwise inferior to capitalist enterprises—drawing on the experiences of actual worker-owners and insights from cooperative researchers in the U.S. and Sweden.

Cooperation Texas works to create sustainable jobs through the development, support and promotion of worker-owned cooperatives, a business model that puts people and the planet first.
