***2x Matching Grant!*** We have a commitment from a foundation to provide us $75,000 toward our training, healing, and operational expenses IF we are able to raise $30,000 for a truck and moving insurance by May 1.
Tightshift Laboring Cooperative’s mission is to model a just, equitable economy, where workers profit from their labor through cooperative ownership. We are a worker-owned laboring service specializing in moving, hauling, cleaning and landscaping services. Through this model, we can use our power to build a world where all communities are free, and nobody needs to spend time behind bars. Our members are primarily formerly incarcerated people and others at risk of entering the criminal justice system.
As one of DC’s only worker cooperatives, and one built by formerly incarcerated people, this is truly a community effort. In order to grow the number of workers we can hire, we need to purchase a truck and moving insurance. We also need to create opportunities for healing time and space for our members, who have experienced significant amounts of trauma. Can you make a financial contribution, and/or invite us to speak to your house or organization? We're so thankful!
