"Sustainable Societies Through Cooperation" 

July 7 is the International Day of Cooperatives, a campaign organized by the ICA in partnership with the United Nations to elevate the work of the more than 3 million co-ops across the globe.

"At a time when income inequality is rising around the world, it is good to be reminded that solutions to inequality do exist. The co-operative model is foremost among these solutions, since it contains aspects of sustainable development at its core and is based on ethical values and principles."
