About this Event

"Democracy at Work in Baltimore" brings together local voices and national thinkers to unpack how worker cooperatives shift the focus from extraction to investment—prioritizing people over profit, and collective well-being over individual gain.

Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking panel exploring the power and promise of worker cooperatives as a model for ethical, democratic, and sustainable economic development in Baltimore and beyond.

Our engaging panelists will highlight how democratic practices come alive within co-ops. We’ll delve into the:

  • Inclusive ethics that define worker co-ops: workplaces where mission-aligned, meaningful labor serves both employees and the broader community
  • Learn how these enterprises foster economic equity, circulate wealth locally, and offer a values-driven alternative to monopoly-driven capitalism
  • Discover horizontal structures that encourage shared decision-making, to systems that empower workers with voice, agency, and long-term stability

Experts:

  • Moderator: Victoria Lebrón (Bmore Transform)
  • Panelist: Taji Amani(Baltimore Roundtable for Economic Democracy)
  • Panelist: Kookie Lynn (Ceremony Piercing & Fine Jewelry)
  • Panelist: Bernardo (Baltimore Bikeworks)

Who should attend: Whether you’re a worker, entrepreneur, policymaker, or just co-op curious, this conversation is a chance to reimagine what work—and democracy—can look like when rooted in community, cooperation, and care.

Let’s explore how worker cooperatives can be both a return to timeless principles and a bold step forward.
