After Civic Hall convened an event discussing
Trebor Scholz's pathbreaking article in
Medium titled "Platform cooperatives vs
the sharing economy," a working group
was launched that has met several times
for lunchtime conversation and information
sharing. This group includes representatives
of the Freelancers Union, Fair Care Labs, Blue
Ridge Labs, the Robin Hood Foundation, and
others. Scholz is now organizing a two-day
conference on this topic this fall at The New
School, which Civic Hall is co-sponsoring.
Civic Hall held a follow-up event after the
conference in January 2016, and plans to
continue hosting the working group on a
regular basis.
