In the third part of TRNN’s series exploring how co-ops survived the pandemic, Jaisal Noor speaks to worker-owners at Red Emma’s, one of Baltimore oldest co-ops, and Joe Squared, which reopened as a co-op after closing in March 2020, about how the cooperative model informed their pandemic response.
