Spearheading social turnaround and worker empowerment through Platform Cooperativism*
*Platform cooperatives are businesses that sell goods or services primarily through a website, mobile app, or protocol. They rely on democratic decision-making and shared platform ownership by workers and users.
CoopCycle is a global federation of worker-owned bicycle logistics cooperatives which reshapes the gig economy. Our mission is to achieve digital sovereignty, dignified working conditions, environmental sustainability, mainstream the gender equality perspective, democratic management and solidarity in the logistics sector (and far beyond).
In the past 20 years, the so-called Gig Economy has ploughed its way through most developed and developing societies around the globe, leading to drastic decreases of safe working conditions with reliable contracts, enough stable income and social security. Almost all risk is borne by the workers in exchange for only temporarily higher income, a tragic fallacy that usually appears at the beginning of the end of the major investment phases in the startups. These precarious working models have softened the political guardrails and helped to gain new momentum to a turbo-capitalism, unhingedly being contemptuous of nature and humanity. Propelling fast(er) consumption and provoking needs that didn’t exist before to exploit raw materials in high speed while burning millions of currency in a short amount of time without any advantage to its immediate environment neither before, during, or after.
The Gig Economy is equal to a modern colonial model of human workforce exploitation and actively contributing to a decline in life quality in most cities they exist in.
CoopCycle has been created to build up a radical alternative path to the shortsightedness of the Gig Economy in the logistics sector.
It equips its member cooperatives with software, and knowledges, which enables them to compete with conventional delivery platforms. The federation is currently active in 55 cities across 130 countries on three continents and continues to grow. CoopCycle’s model is based on six key pillars:
To sustain and expand this model, we are seeking funding. This funding will allow us to support both technological advancements and network growth. Your support will allow us to:
· Foster technological innovation: CoopCycle continuously develops its bike logistics software used by a growing number of cooperatives worldwide. The software stands out in the global market due to its open source licence as well as suitability for various types of deliveries including last-mile, local commerce and ethical food delivery.
Act as an interregional partner for sustainable and social development funding projects.
· Develop Educational Resources: Create materials like our upcoming 'Guide to Starting a Bike Logistics Coop,' which will simplify the process of starting new cooperatives."
Create Synergy Effects: Hire representatives who can conduct collective bargaining with large clients on behalf of entire networks of cooperatives + lobbying and marketing
- Cumulated benefits: Central roles at continental and/or national level develop various benefits for the network (common purchasing, commercial services, accumulated marketing, political lobbying etc.) and thus ensure a faster drive towards an ecological and social turnaround in transport and logistics.
Spread the word : have representative people to talk about the federation and its benefit to the world ❤️
