About this Event

Columbus Cooperates: Expanding the Solidarity Economy in Central Ohio

Solidarity is more than a value - it’s a strategy for building a more just and sustainable future. As challenges in housing, food, and economic inequality grow, the need for shared solutions has never been more important.

Join us at The Maroon, a cooperatively-owned arts and community space, for a gathering of people working to strengthen the solidarity economy in Central Ohio. We’ll explore what’s already happening locally and throughout Ohio, hear from changemakers advancing cooperative models, and learn what's possible when vision meets action.

Featured Speakers & Partners:

  • Maroon Arts Group – Columbus-based cooperative arts organization and host of The Maroon
  • Black Men Build Columbus – Columbus chapter of a national movement organizing Black men around solidarity and self-determination
  • Cleveland Owns – Cooperative incubator supporting democratic ownership in Northeast Ohio
  • Co-op Dayton – Nonprofit building community- and worker-owned businesses in Dayton, Ohio

Who Should Attend? Whether you're part of a co-op or collective, a grassroots group, or just curious about alternatives to capitalism as usual - this is a space to learn, connect, and imagine new possibilities together.

🌟 This event is part of the – a three-day journey across the state (June 5–7) connecting cooperative leaders and celebrating five years of the Ohio Worker-ownership Network (OWN). The tour travels from Cleveland to Columbus to Dayton to Cincinnati, wrapping up with a big celebration at Co-op Fest. Come for one stop or ride the whole way!
