Gus<p>Last night our Co-op launched its capital raise to buy The Hub Castlemaine for the community! Pretty chuffed with the turnout we got.</p><p>Now to see if we can raise the money... Our goal is to buy it for the community and take it out of the speculative property market for good. Members can buy debentures that are like a loan, paying interest each year and then paid back in full at the end.</p><p>The non-profit Co-op will own the building, so there's no "shareholders" to cash out in the future for a big profit and quick pay day.</p><p><a href="https://castlemaine.coop" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">castlemaine.coop</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/cooperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooperatives</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/communitywealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communitywealth</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/castlemaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>castlemaine</span></a></p>
Maho Pacheco 🦝🍻<p>You know you can tax the rich right now, right? Just shift where you spend your money.</p><p>Support your local coffee shop instead of a big chain. Shop at farmers' markets. Eat at local restaurants. Buy from mom-and-pop stores. Choose independent brands over corporate giants.</p><p>Yes, it might cost a little more, but you're redirecting money away from corporations that thrive on low wages and putting it straight into your community—where it can grow, support jobs, and build something better.</p><p>You are effectively taxing the rich.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ShopLocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShopLocal</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SupportSmallBusiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupportSmallBusiness</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EatLocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatLocal</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CommunityWealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityWealth</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EthicalSpending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalSpending</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TaxTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaxTheRich</span></a></p>
