TheUnited States Federation of Worker Cooperatives (USFWC) is the national grassroots membership organization representing worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces. Its mission is to build a thriving ecosystem for worker-owned and controlled businesses and to empower their cooperative leaders to power movements for racial justice and economic democracy.[2] USFWC was founded in 2004 by few core co-op members in collaboration with co-op developers, scholars, community organizers, and supporters from the wider co-op sector.[2]
The Federation was sponsored by The Cooperative Foundation in addition to other cooperative support organizations. It was created partly in response to growing regional organizing among United States worker cooperatives and to foster the sharing of information and resources between national gatherings.[3][4]
