We need an… economy

that supports democracy.

Cap‘talism’s not the key!

It’s workplace… a hierarchy,

employer over employee,

breeds wealth in-e-qual-i-ty!

Co-op‘ratives that are worker-owned

That is the ke-ey!

They’re a model that is well-known

for workplace democracy!

So if we want… an economy

to boost wealth e-qual-i-ty

it’s worker-owned co-ops for you and me!

Let’s make it easy for workers to

collectively bu-uy

all shares of their companies,

so they’ll be their own employees!

Spread the wordTake a vow!

Don’t stop ’til eve’ryone knows how!

very, very slow–> Replace corporations with worker co-ops now!
