I'm having a hard time understanding what is going on with the Kerrygold #Cooperative. It doesn't seem like a demutualization event, but people are getting big payouts? Kerry Group and the dairy co-op are splitting up and the big company is buying back its shares from the co-op, so that's where the cash is coming from? But non-dairy producing co-op members are also getting cashed out? Do you understand @ntnsndr

The first speaker, Cedar Barstow, has worked on this issue for 27 years. In the 1990s she was caught living overoccupied and sentenced to community service (after having to kick out her housemates).

She used her community service hours to help start the Boulder Housing Coalition, a non-profit #cooperative #housing developer.

12 years ago my housing #cooperative invited #BoulderCouncil candidates over for tea and cakes to talk about repealing laws that make it illegal to share housing in #Boulder. Many years of advocacy to enable co-ops as a special case and multiple city ballot measures and lawsuits later, only now is it finally coming to a vote. In the meantime Boulder housing costs have more than doubled. A live stream of the public hearing:
