Fresh produce is a win-win-win for Massachusetts. We 1. Get healthier foods, 2. Support local farmers, and 3. Give independent retailers a fighting chance. #MassFoodTrust #MDAR Commonwealth of Massachusetts #healthyincentives #hip

Dr. Chris Clamp has spent her career showing what's possible. What's possible in communities when workers build the solutions, own their workplace, and form a cooperative. Chris Clamp spent decades highlighting the little-known worker-ownership model. And through their success, Chris has helped demonstrate the value of cooperatives to our economy and communities. Cooperative Hall of Famer and Chair of the LEAF Board of Directors, Chris Clamp, we are grateful for your leadership.
