This year, i didn't wish for any birthday presents. Instead i asked the people to donate to projects that i care about. Since there are so many, i started with two this year: #PostmarketOS & #CodeBerg.

Maybe - if you are priviliged like me and not in need of material presents - you can consider this as well.

Atwater Village: Sowing Seeds of Economic Democracy
#WorkerCoops

"Eleven of the employees stepped up to become worker-owners, with another 13 remaining as employees. An employee can become a worker-owner after working for the bakery for a year and investing $2500 in the business, either up front or through paycheck deductions. Since the bakery opened as a cooperative a little over a year ago, it now has 13 worker-owners and 12 employees."
