Co-operatives Fortnight Petition

SIGN THE CO-OPERATIVE PETITION to narrow the gap between rich and poor.

The gap between rich and poor is at its highest since records began. One half of the UK population now owns just one percent of the wealth. A generation ago, they had twelve per cent.

We can change this. Co-operatives Fortnight, is taking place until 9th July 2011, and is the co-operative sector’s national campaign. It aims to show how co-operatives help narrow the gap by giving everyday employees, customers and residents an equal say in decisions and share in the profits.

The central element of the campaign is an ambitious aim of getting 100,000 signatures in support of its petition to trigger national debate on co-operative action to help narrow the gap between rich and poor.
