COVID-19 has laid bare the failures of the current globalised capitalist system, which the co-operative model is well suited to address. <br/><br/>Molly Kendall oversees Communications and Business Development at The Co-op Federation. The Co-op Federation advocates for the co-operative sector; raises public awareness; provides education, resources and networking opportunities; assists in forming co-operatives and like entities; and maintains links with other organisations interstate, nationally and internationally. Molly is a co-operative nerd from way back. She explored Australia&apos;s intentional communities from her early days to heading up a worker-owned waste management co-op. <br/><br/>In this episode, Molly discusses the history of the Co-op sector in Australia, how it stacks up against other countries and its model&apos;s benefits in today&apos;s context.<br/><br/>What Can We Do is produced by <a href='https://samuham.org/'>Samuham Media</a>, and hosted by Prema Menon.<br/><br/>This podcast is also available on major podcast platforms.</p>","author_name":"Samuham Media"}
