CFL’s Cooperative Development Program (CDP) is a nationally-recognized leader in development of
worker-owned cooperative businesses in immigrant, low-income communities. Worker cooperatives are
wholly worker-owned and democratically-run, which means that workers set their own fair wages,
schedules, and business practices. Since 2006, we have provided tailored technical assistance and
training to 21 cooperatives representing 540 worker-owners, and trained 30+ community-based
organizations on cooperative development. Currently, we are focusing on developing and scaling the
growth of cooperatives in the cleaning sector throughout New York City and beyond. This includes our
support for BrightlyR, a new franchise of cleaning cooperatives that share branding and back office
systems. We also support Up & Go, a cooperatively-owned app for consumers to book cleaning
services from worker cooperatives. We believe that it is more important than ever to strengthen
community self-determination, leadership, and advocacy. We invite you to be part of creating a new
economic system that puts people and the planet before profit.
