[Cash-outreach-engagement-circle] Inclusive Co-ops - Thanks for coming and next steps!

[Herta Gatter]

Hi all,

Hope you are having a fabulous week. Here’s a song to accompany you on this Wednesday afternoon. <https://youtu.be/vI26EtCN-8I>

Thank you for sharing your expectations, commitments and your preferences for communication via the form.

Esra and I will be reviewing your responses this week and will get back to you with a suggested way forward on Monday. Communications will likely be a blend of things to allow everyone to participate, with more meeting intensive beginnings until we come up with a shared plan and more sub-group / remote working with regular touch points later on.

PS If you haven’t got round to filling out the form, you’ve got time til Saturday evening to submit your response.

PS PS if you want to start learning you can start by watching this film that tells the story of Fusions Jameen, a black-led cooperative that built their own houses across South London <https://youtu.be/fzCPT425aG0>.

Thanks,

Herta Gatter

>>> The Inclusive Co-ops project started with a beautiful session on Saturday.
>>> 
>>> In these two hours, we’ve already learned a lot from each other including:
>>> The importance of
>>> ‘Equity’ - Equity considers the different starting points when trying to achieve fairness
>>> Diversity being about how much representation we see in the room
>>> Inclusion as a feeling - to feel part of something, to feel like you belong
>>> Intersectionality, term coined by the black feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw to help understand how different types of oppression interact
>>> How it is the hardest to “pretend” to be accessible in terms of mobility as real infrastructure investment is needed. You can’t just put up a poster claiming you support some people.
>>> How co-ops can both mean shared housing or private flats 
>>> How a lot of co-ops are hidden and it’s hard to get into them
>>> How much power, knowledge and skills we already have in the room
>>> 
>>> You can watch the summary of the session on our Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/p/CzirQkLIl3J/?img_index=1> as performed by the amazing Chima.
>>> 
>>> Thank you to Milka for facilitating, Chima for your poetry and everyone for coming, sharing and contributing. And those who couldn’t make it don’t worry - there are going to be plenty of opportunities to get involved!
>>> 
>>> And now let’s get down to business. In order to be able to plan our next steps, including how we are going to stay in touch it would be great if all of you could please fill out this super quick survey. <https://cloud.ldn.cash/apps/forms/s/6P9YZnLbbYwzqGgETBj4ZZcZ> 
>>> 
>>> We’ll try our best to find a rhythm that works for everyone. Please bear with us as everyone from CASH is also a volunteer :) This project will go as far as we collectively want it to go. 
>>> 
>>> Please feel free to forward this email / invite anyone who you think might be interested.
