We are hearing that our member co-ops are dealing with as many as half of their members out of work or leaving due to shutdowns of workplaces and campuses across the US and Canada. As events are happening quickly, we want to get a birds-eye view of how this is and will be affecting our members economically. We are looking for information to coordinate a broader response to help co-ops work through the economic impacts that seem likely.
Some of these questions may not have precise answers right now, but your best approximations are still very helpful now in figuring out the scope of this crisis.
We recognize the severity of this crisis, and we are here with you through it. We have created a Slack Channel for members to share resources related to these issues:
