Marginalized Communities

Worker cooperatives can make business ownership possible for those historically and intentionally left out of the economy and entrepreneurship, such as immigrants, refugees, women and individuals impacted by the justice system.

Example: Cenzontle Co-op

Cenzontle Co-op is an all-women, worker owned cooperative in Asheville, NC. The eight worker owners are interpreters, translators and consultants who strive to build bridges between communities by breaking down language barriers.
