In Honor of Black History Month - and Beyond

In February Basics donated $100 to Rock County Jumpstart, which provides training, tools, and resources Black entrepreneurs need to start, grow, and sustain a successful business in Rock County.

Your management team also further discussed ways the Co-op can engage in diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in meaningful and non-performative ways. A first step we identified is an ongoing commitment to educate ourselves and others. This month we invite you to watch this clip featuring Political Economist and Author of Collective Courage Jessica Gordon Nembhard.
