Commonsplace David I. Backer

Commonsplace is moving to a new "features" model this month. Rather than long episodes, we'll publish shorter featured content on a regular basis. In this episode, we feature an interview with Caracol Interpreters Cooperative in New York City.

1) Monthly news update -- Shelly Ronen and Alex Breeden
2) Feature on Philadelphia's Energy Co-op -- Meredith Degyansky
3) Interview with California Cooperative Coalition -- Liz Anderson
4) Chokwe Lumumba Mixtape -- Dave Backer

In this episode, we've got an audio collage from the Boulder, CO cooperative housing ordinance city council hearings; audio from Weaver's Way Food Co-op in Philadelphia; an interview about how the country's third oldest cooperative store closed recently in Minnesota; and a feature on a new California law that makes things a lot harder for cooperatives there; plus a News Roundup with stories from across the country and the world.
