From WECC:
"The West End Community Center, Inc., (WECC) was founded and incorporated by a group of neighborhood citizens in 1975. WECC serves the diverse community of the West End of Providence, an area burdened with issues of poverty, unstable and unsafe housing, language and educational barriers and other obstacles to economic success. These statistics point to the necessity of one-stop shop place like WECC, which can assist neighborhood residents with the various issues they face. Residents of the West End are unlikely to venture out of the neighborhood for services, mainly due to lack of transportation.

WECC’s programs are intergenerational, as we strive to service the whole family. The main core of WECC’s programming is the Early Learning Program, the Before/After School and Summer Youth Program and the Social Service Program."

Ten percent of proceeds from our Spring Drink Specials will be donated to Fuerza Laboral / Power of Workers.

For decades, Fuerza Laboral has been on the ground organizing for workers' rights, including advocating for worker cooperatives.

Wow, our worker co-op cafe is turning three!!! Still sometimes hard to believe how we were able to pull this off– after organizing, unionizing, and a huge community effort, we reopened White Electric Coffee as a worker-owned cooperative three years ago. It’s inspiring to have our co-op birthday on May Day, International Workers’ Day, to mark our wee milestone along with global worker solidarity!

Come celebrate with us! As a thanks to our community and in honor of International Workers’ Day, on Weds, May 1st, we’ll be giving away a free small coffee (hot or iced) all day long, during regular shop hours (7am-4pm). There will also be chances for free gift give-aways throughout the day.

We’re immensely grateful for all the support we’ve had along the way. From folks believing in our co-op way back when (when this outcome truly seemed improbable), to everyone continuing to visit our cafe three years in. To all the workers, past, present, and future, who make this quirky coffee shop what it is. We feel it, we appreciate it, we love it! We thank you all for helping show what is possible, at our co-op and beyond. With imagination in action, we can co-create a world where workplaces are democratic and transparent, collectively owned and run by co-workers. That’s what we’re doing every day over here. For sure, besides the silly banter & latte slinging, it can be challenging and continues to be a work-in-progress, but the reward is real as we build & change & care & tweak & reflect together.

Coffee clink cheers to three years of our little worker cooperative cafe, and hopefully many more to come!

Happy International Workers’ Day!

From Riverzedge:

"Riverzedge Arts uses innovative applied and work-based learning strategies to teach art, design, and critical thinking to the youth of northern RI, providing our participants as well as our community with a path to economic and cultural sustainability.

Our purpose at Riverzedge Arts is to supplement the traditional educational and professionalization opportunities offered throughout northern RI’s middle and high schools. We provide applied instruction and work-based training programs that offer both immediate resources in the form of wages and educational credits as well as the type of subject and industry-specific expertise that will make our participants competitive in the professional world.

We believe that in addition to basic needs and traditional classroom instruction, youths need hands-on work-based opportunities to apply what they have learned and see how their knowledge and skills can shape the world around them. We believe that working with industry experts as well as their peers, engaging in creative work that requires them to problem-solve, and giving youth the opportunity to learn advanced technologies will ultimately increase our participants’ sense of competency and preparedness.
We work together to provide our participants, their families, and our community as whole with opportunities, inspiration, and hope."

We're looking for one or two people to work part time, with the opportunity to pick up more shifts. If you enjoy fast-paced cafe/food service work and are interested in being part of a worker-owned cooperative, please get in touch!

Our workplace is horizontally structured with democratic + collective decision-making, all staff eligible to become coworker-owners (after 6 month probationary period).

"The Providence Bike Collective is a community bicycle workshop where anyone can practice their mechanics knowledge or learn for the first time. We also provide bike repairs and mechanical lessons for little to no cost. In the past, we have partnered with local organizations, like AMOR and DARE, to redistribute repaired bikes for people who are in need of basic transportation. We occasionally hold bike sales, charging folks on a sliding scale.

Our mission is to provide a space where anyone, regardless of mechanical experience, age, race, gender, or class, can feel welcomed and grow their knowledge. We are committed to building a space, based on environmental and racial justice and anti-oppression, where people and the community can grow and learn through our love of bicycles. Our current regular schedule is Volunteer Nights on Mondays from 6PM to 8PM and Open Shop on Thursdays from 6PM to 8PM. Volunteer Nights consist of folks with a range of mechanics knowledge working on bikes that are donated to us. There are usually two bottomliners who provide assistance and guidance to volunteers. Open Shop is similar to Volunteer Night in that folks can work on bikes if they want but it's also open for folks who are having issues with their bikes."

More about GWC:
"For over 40 years, the George Wiley Center has been a grassroots group that organizes to advocate for systematic changes aimed at alleviating problems associated with poverty.

The work of George Wiley Center is based on the belief that each person in our community is endowed with innate dignity and worth. Each deserves a decent home, adequate clothing and nutritious food. These goals are achieved through community education and awareness and community organization and development.

Over the years, the George Wiley Center has organized to win various policies in RI, including free school breakfasts, summer jobs for youth, increased protection from utility shutoffs, simplified SNAP benefit applications, free public transportation, and more. Since the pandemic we have done a lot of mutual aid distributing food, local fish, and clothing, as well as helping folks facing eviction. Our current organizing work is primarily focused on utility justice-- through mutual aid, know-your-rights clinics, policy advocacy, and direct action, we aim to make sure the basic need of utility service is accessible to all Rhode Islanders while we transition to sustainable energy sources. Our goal is to get PIPP (Percentage Income Payment Plan) legislation passed in RI to make utilities affordable for low-income households and to stop the utility shut-off crisis in our state. Come to our weekly Wednesday organizing meetings at 6:30pm at our office in Pawtucket to learn more, get help with your utility bills, and get involved!"
