Instead of the usual themed show, this episode of Each For All is looking at a couple of different topics, which don't seem to be very connected to one another: Homelessness in the Greater Victoria Area, and Co-op Development in Mongolia. What these topics do have in common, however, is that the people we're speaking to about them are both local activists who have been deeply influenced by the co-op model and have shown their commitment through long-time involvement in social economy projects.

The show starts off with a co-operative-themed folk song by Greg O'Neill, "The Big Idea". If you're accessing our free music-less podcast and would like to hear this tune, you can listen to here.

 

We revisit the sex worker co-op in Vancouver! Since we last checked in with them (EFA S05E03), they have incorporated and are planning their first AGM. Susan Davis talks with Robin about the meaning of co-ops for promoting democracy in the sex trade as well as throughout communities dealing with cycles of poverty and addiction. In addition, Susan provides a background on the history and details of sex work and the law.

By three-way telephone call, Eryk Martin and Robin Puga chatted with Charlie Justice about the formation and structure of the War On Music worker co-op.
