#Vietnam Raises Over $4.8 Million for #Cuban Government in Just Two Days.

cubaheadlines.com/articles/309

In a remarkable show of #solidarity , individuals, businesses, and public institutions across Vietnam have donated upwards of $4.8 million in a mere 48-hour period to support #Cuba 's government.

The campaign, launched to "enhance the spirit of friendship and solidarity" with #Havana, is part of the 65th anniversary celebrations of #diplomatic relations between the two nations. Its main goal is to gather resources for the shipment of medical supplies, essential goods, and to support #cooperative projects.

Artisans Cooperative

Cooperatives are more than just businesses.

They are communities owned and run by the people who make, use, or support the work. That means shared decision making, shared values, and a shared commitment to doing things differently.

When you support a cooperative like the Artisans Cooperative, you are not just buying a product, you are investing in real artists.

V.S.F. shared this sweet review of the Bubble Gum Handknit Hat:

"Got this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves the bright colors! He gets compliments all the time. It even pairs perfectly with his high-viz orange gear when he's landscaping."

Handspun, bright, and clearly made with love.

Year of the Co-ops

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

Did you know the UN has made 2025 ‘International year of co-operatives’?

Co-ops are democratically owned businesses or organisations, with the co-op’s members in control to meet their shared needs. The members may be customers, employees, residents or suppliers.

All co-ops the world over shares the same 7 principles and 10 values.

Around 40% of the UK’s 7000 co-ops are consumer owned – think credit unions, high street Co-op supermarkets and Your Co-op, while over 350 are worker owned e.g. Essential (Food & Household specialists), Footprint Workers Co-op (Riso printers), Go Free Range (Software development revolutionaries: @freerange), Suma (Food, household, toiletries), Veggies (Catering company: @Veggies) and workers.coop (Federation of worker-led cooperatives: @workers_coop). Others can be multi-stakeholder owned such as Webarchitects (Cloud hosting services).

Examples of international co-ops are cosocial (Non profit social media platform: @coop – Canada), Limeleaf (Software developers: @limeleaf – USA), Nubo (Ethical mail & cloud services: @nubo_coop – Belgium), Ouvaton (Hosting & software services: @ouvaton – France) and Society (Digital technologies: @sociality – Greece).

The Labour government did say in its pre-election manifesto that it would double the size of the co-op sector and mutual economy in the UK, but as with many manifesto pledges I wouldn’t hold your breath.

The 10 official co-operative ‘values’ are:

  1. Caring for others
  2. Democracy
  3. Equity
  4. Equality
  5. Honesty
  6. Openness
  7. Self help
  8. Self responsibility
  9. Solidarity
  10. Social responsibility

@calcifer actually no, that's literally in the Law governing #PublicCorporations [in #Germany.]

#PublicCompanies exist to increase capital.

  • They are a #gamble that a company will #ROI it's share holders short- or long-term!

Otherwise they'd not go public and majority owners who don't want their business bled dry even take them #private again (i.e. #Dell)…
