    Media Team Graphic Designer and Construction Worker at Requity Foundation Inc.

    Over the past week, students in the business department of the Requity Foundation Inc. have been diligently working to help make T-shirt designs ordered from clients and local businesses. ???? The students have been able to learn these skills by being under the apprenticeship of a Graphic Designer & Clothing Maker, Taleisha Lee , who has been an impactful role model to the team. This has not only given the students an opportunity to gain skills in heat pressing clothing, but additionally they're able to have a greater experience in sales-making and production. #Baltimore #Youth #GraphicDesign

    Integrated Capital Officer at Kataly Foundation

    ?? Exciting news to close out the week! I’m thrilled to share that the Kataly Foundation’s Restorative Economies Fund has successfully closed a $5M investment to Seed Commons! ?? Alongside grants to strengthen cooperative infrastructure, this integrated capital approach will help scale non-extractive finance for cooperatives—shifting economic power to workers and communities through impactful projects like: ?? Resident-owned mobile home parks (via Poder Emma Community Ownership) – preserving affordable housing and preventing displacement. ?? Worker-owned construction and preservation cooperative (Appalachian Field Services) – revitalizing neighborhoods, creating second-chance opportunities, and ensuring wealth stays in the community. ?? Cooperative food enterprises (via New Economy Works West Virginia) – empowering local entrepreneurs to build worker-owned jobs and democratic workplaces. Huge congratulations to Seed Commons and all the incredible members of their national network! ??

  • Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. We are a worker-owned cooperative, building a solution to the vacant housing crisis, brick by brick. Get to know some of our members and community partners in this video. We now own 28 properties and have finished 12 of them. We have been approved for Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds (GGRF) to build resilient, zero-emission homes across Baltimore. We are innovators, rebuilding housing using existing infrastructure, growing and keeping equity in the neighborhoods. With the GGRF, Appalachian Field Services is prototyping new earth-healing construction systems and materials, AND, educating marginalized workers on these state of the art of technologies. How beautiful is that - rocketing folks who for ages have been denied access to solid careers to the avant-garde of the construction trades! Get a peak at our recent visit to Arlington, where we met with The George Washington University environmental institute, one of the top green building and clean energy experts in the country.

  • Lindsay Jones explains how to demo the floor at 1821 N Pulaski St. with David Lidz, CEO of #WaterBottleCooperative. David and Lindsay are imagining a real-world #workforcetraining for a current Carver Vocational-Technical High School carpentry cohort. The Carver kids will come to AFS construction sites to learn structural rebuilding and framing, which begins by engaging architects and engineers and with careful contemplation of needed demolition. Michael Rosenband, CEO of Requity Foundation Inc., as well as Ty Brown (operations director) and Carlos Herrera (field laborer) from AFS are also featured in the clip. Video shot by Nick Cunningham Jr from Requity Foundation Inc.

  • Ty Brown, operations director of Appalachian Field Services shares in a new blog where we're headed this new year. 2024 was all about growth, community, and opportunity. In West Baltimore, we completed renovations on six properties, providing safe, affordable housing for our neighbors. We also expanded our real estate portfolio, acquiring 13 new properties—with plans to double finished units in 2025. Partnering with Requity Foundation Inc. has allowed us to not only build homes but also empower local residents with valuable skills. We’re thrilled to now be members of the US FEDERATION OF WORKER COOPERATIVES, expanding our reach and impact. As we head into 2025, we’re excited to keep building community equity and supporting distressed neighborhoods. Here’s to another year of growth and giving back!?

  • Catch #WestBaltimore’s #1 masonry expert Lindsay Jones talking weatherization with visionary West Baltimore leaders. We got deep, weedsy and wonky this January. During their visit, Maryland State Senator Antonio Hayes & West North Avenue Development Authority's Executive Director Chad Williams were frank about their concerns (ours is a rental model, not home ownership), open to hear us out (but our rental portfolio is owned by our construction workers and soon the tenants - creating an alternative path to real estate wealth for those who may never otherwise find it!), and wicked smart about the deets - they got it, and asked all of the right questions and immediately began lining up the public policy possibilities and cool collaborations we could build with other #WestBaltimore champions!

  • "Leave it to the #Baltimore #cooperative movement to get my old ass to discover Baltimore’s best kept new & exciting secrets." ??? #CoopBikeRide #CommunityPowered Read David Lidz's vibrant and personal account of how cycling helps manage anxiety, especially on a Saturday morning adventure in Baltimore. He joined the First Great Baltimore Co-op Bike Ride, a community tour celebrating local cooperatives. Starting at the 32nd Street Farmers Market, the ride made stops at co-op landmarks like #environcollab, Mera Kitchen Collective, and BALTIMORE BICYCLE COOPERATIVE LLC. Each destination highlighted unique stories of community-driven resilience, empowerment, and sustainable development. David also appreciated the joy of rediscovering #Baltimore, contrasting it with their past experience of living in #Waverly, and embracing the thrill of urban cycling.

  • Not to mention our commitment to worker autonomy and frontline decision-making! You should see the worker empowering systems we’re building at AFS!!

    I do Impact Real Estate Portfolio's (IREP's). IREP's restore wealth & health to America's oppressed neighborhoods, and keep it there, forever, beginning in Baltimore.

    I know it’s easy to get a little jaded and discouraged about stuff lately, especially when it comes government and politics, so lemme tell you a mindblowingly wonderful little wintertime story. Last month, City Councilman Zac Blanchard introduced Senator Antonio Hayes & West North Avenue Development Authority E.D. Chad Williams into an email thread about waterbottle.coop 's mission to create awesome jobs, affordable energy efficient housing, and community equity in #WestBaltimore.?In about zero seconds flat Senator Hayes and Director Williams jumped into the convo and asked “when can we get with y’all for a #Sandtown-Winchester / #MatthewHenson walkabout?” We scheduled that walkabout for yesterday, and despite the 20° temps, the gusting wind, the snowy icy sidewalks & streets, here are two public officials who showed up brought with them curiosity, enthusiasm, warmth, laughter and deep insight. And get this.?The Senator and the Executive Director STAYED and WALKED AND TALKED, DEEPLY CONVERSED with ALL ELEVEN OF US, representing the co-op,its two business subsidies Rising Housing and Appalachian Field Services , and its kick-ass workforce partner Requity Foundation Inc. Did you hear me? THREE HOURS! On a BRUTALLY COLD SATURDAY DURING SESSION!! I mean, talk about public service. We got deep and weedsy and wonky.?Senator Hayes and Director Williams were frank about their concerns (ours is a rental model, not home onwership), open to hear us out (but our rental portfolio is owned by our construction workers and soon the tenants - creating an alternative path to real estate wealth for those who may never otherwise find it!), and wicked smart about the deets - they got it, and asked all of the right questions and immediately began lining up the public policy possibilities and cool collaborations we could build with other #WestBaltimore Champions! Topics ranged from #workforcetraining, support for #immigrantworkers and residents, smashing the legacy of #redlining, various approaches to #affordablehousing and #communityequity, #GreenhouseGasReductionFunds, #cooperativeeconomics.?That’s just the tip of, well of course, the iceberg. Really looking forward to keeping the convo going and really rolling up our sleeves with these two f’real public servants.?In the meantime, just wanted to tell this tale of “there is still good government in the world”, and, to shout out to all of the WaterBottle Co-op and Requity team: Tabien Bates Jazmin Idalma Hernandez Juan Carlos Herrera Jeison Nu?ez Randy Ferrin Lindsay Jones PatrickFrancis Nehemias Brito Yessenia Lidz Michael Rosenband who stepped up on a blustery Saturday to show and tell what we do, and of course to extend a deep thanks to Senator Hayes and Director Williams for coming out, really engaging, really caring, and really getting it.?All with good old fashioned humility and genuineness. And get this.?All those hours in the ice. I never saw them shiver.?Not once. Keep the faith y’all!
