Shine Together Immigrant Led Co-Op
“When I first arrived on the North Shore, it was hard to stay hopeful. Struggling with my legal case, unable to find work, and without a local community, I often felt lonely and despairing. So much has changed for me since I met a group of powerful ECCO immigrant leaders who were working to learn new skills, support each other, and dream of a different future.”
Blanca Martinez,
Shine Together Co-op Leader
As they dreamed together of a different future for themselves, ECCO immigrant leaders also began to hold a vision of what an alternative to our current economy could look like, one where economic justice and human dignity are built into the fabric of the workplace. Through equal parts innovation, imagination and inspiration, the Shine Together co-op group has been launched to create a community-based alternative to the brutal economic systems that push immigrants and those living in poverty to the sidelines. The co-op is the first of its kind in this area and emerged from the struggles the immigrant leaders experience daily. Learn more at www.shinetogethercoop.com!
