@KellyJ_Mena @CNN @BklynEagle Congrats!!

Personal news: I will be moving to Washington D.C. next week to start as a staff reporter for @CNN covering state and local policy as it relates to 2020 congressional campaigns and state measures. I had such a wonderful time these last months at the @bklyneagle!

The answer... 23.

About a decade ago, there were more than 50 #BlackOwned banks and credit unions - As of 2018, how many are left?

NEW THREAD // You ready for some #black #cooperative #history? We’re gonna have a little fun here over the next 24 hours and make it multiple choice.... reply back and one lucky participant will win a CBFC spoon - here we go....

T-minus 24 hours. So close to $50k. 🥦🥕✊🏾🥕🥦 #foodjustice #bedstuy #crownheights #brooklyn fight #gentrification with @CBFoodCoop on #Kickstarter bit.ly/CBFC_Kickstart…

That purple slice? That’s custom URLs, meaning: people working hard to get the WORD out to their networks... want one of your own? Send us a message... and help us but that $50k by midnight tomorrow!

@Institute_coop Thank you so much! We’re actually not the ‘first’ (a Coop way back called The East in Bed-Stuy paved the way) but we’re currently the only coop of our kind that exists right now in NYC 🔥🥦🥕✊🏾🔥

This figure is astounding and all too familiar in communities of color. Help @CBFoodCoop--the first black-led, worker-owned and operated food co-op in NYC--change the narrative around food access and work: kickstarter.com/projects/cbfoo… #GoCoop #WorkerOwnership

In my latest column, I wrote about how @CBFoodCoop builds upon a long history of Black cooperative economics to fight gentrification in Central Brooklyn, and how alt economics are super queer.

To reclaim their culture and their health, the Hopi, like many Native people across North America, are now working to break the colonization of their diets and they view food sovereignty as vital to that process. buff.ly/35kr0Al @lily7qi
