Episode 80: Economic Democracy Meets the Ballot Box

Clayton Adams, Michelle Dunn & Mark Niehaus Season 1 Episode 80

In hour one, Michelle sits down with Ellen Vera, co-director of Co-op Cincy, a nonprofit that supports a growing network of worker-owned cooperatives across Greater Cincinnati. They break down how co-ops actually function, why democratic ownership matters, and how worker-led businesses can build wealth locally instead of shipping profits out of the community.

In hour two, Clayton and Mark welcome Caleb Price, candidate for Ohio’s 30th State House District. They discuss Caleb’s campaign priorities and what he hopes to accomplish if elected. Later, the conversation turns to some troubling developments in Ohio’s charter school landscape, unpacking accountability concerns and what they mean for public education.
