Common Good Cooperatives is a Boston-based organization that empowers women of color through small business development and community engagement. Founded in 2013, their mission is to create sustainable connections and economic opportunities for lower-resourced women of color, with a focus on access to fresh, hyperlocal healthy foods and place-making initiatives.
Through their Women of Color Cooperative Cottage and Urban Farm, Common Good Co-op provides a platform for African-American women and women in Boston to collaborate on equity-based initiatives, strengthening lower-resourced neighborhoods and communities. Their work challenges stereotypes and promotes inclusivity in the agriculture industry, while highlighting the resilience and competency of Black women in the face of marginalization.
