Stopped by @msfoundation.bsky.social today! (That's a half-selfie by our Director of Strategy & Learning, Liz Morgan!)

A half-selfie of a Black woman wearing a cap and glasses, in front of a red wall that has the following text: "We believe in a just and safe world where power and possibility are not limited by gender, race, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or age. We believe that equity and inclusion are the cornerstones of a true democracy in which the worth and dignity of every person are valued."

Our 'democracy' is not fit for purpose—IF that purpose is the continuation of complex life on earth.

We need a new House of the People to accrue power to those with wisdom and enact governance of, for and by the people and the planet.

We're looking for organizations to sponsor our fall fundraising event, and businesses excited to donate items or services! Information and a link to the album from last year is at www.tonyc.nyc/fight2025

We made this shift with year of support via @usworker.coop‬ ! as well as discussions with other groups in this model.

And we're also getting questions from other non-profits about how this works!

Now we have a group of staff (most) who have opted into worker-membership. This week, that group is making decisions about our fall programs, because we have limited budget but some new invitations, changes to mission/values, and when the administrative staff return to full-time hours.

Last year, Theatre of the Oppressed NYC shifted to become a worker self-directed non-profit! (that's as close as a 501c3 can be to a worker-owned cooperative, considering that we have no owners, but we also legally have a board).
