I agree with the petition. Not only should the process of running for a seat on the Board of Directors be a democratic and transparent process, so should the process around tabling. And just as the Co-op sells items which are not made locally, the influence of the political world we live in is not restricted to only local matters. For example, the illegal war on Iran has resulted in high gas and diesel prices which are negatively affecting the price of commodities bought locally.

Democracy is at the heart of the cooperative movement. There is no meaningful democracy when current leaders are allowed to pre-select future leaders.

I want open transparency when decisions or policy are made. That is what 'community' coop should be representing, without needing a petition reminding you what should be clear in the bylaws. Member # 34190

All questions asked of the applicants plus their answers should be made available to members so they can choose their board members.
