I work in Oakland as an attorney at Sustainable Economies Law Center, at 1428 Franklin St.
As part of the REAL People's Organizing Collective, which represents Black and Brown Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, and Co-ops in Oakland, please support amendments to ensure co-ops are prioritized in the Film Rebate Program, specifically an additional 2.5% incentive for hiring worker cooperative businesses, so that rebate money supports regular workers building shared wealth in Oakland.
Our collective believes that investing in and prioritizing cooperative practice leads to economic prosperity specifically for historically marginalized communities. There is a reason why we’ve seen in Oakland, cooperatives such as Latino, immigrant, women-led cleaning services and a Black-led grocery store in a food apartheid community. Worker-owned cooperatives are a proven effective strategy for closing the racial wealth gap and ensuring that local businesses stay rooted in their communities.
I urge our city council members to prioritize support for Oakland's co-ops in the Film Initiative, which will followup on 2015’s Council Resolution 14-1232, “Supporting The Development Of Worker Cooperatives” and will prioritize funding from the Film Incentive going to Oakland’s most democratic and equitable businesses. Thank you for your time and consideration.
