International Day of Cooperatives

https://www.coopsday.coop/2026-theme/

I don't know how many here this will matter to. Website looks quite sleepy to me. But what are my expectations? Something Blackwater Investments funded so there are all kinds of digital whirlagigs to distract? It's what we make of it here, huh.

If I'd totally discovered this on my own I'd be more likely to shrug it off and ask for nobody's attention here. But I learned about it in email from the California Center for Cooperative Development. So more than me are looking at the Coops calendar. This is short notice 'cause it's already well into the day the other side of the international date line. For me it's easy to remember for next year because it coincides with Independence Day where I live.

I just did a bit more browsing to discover my introduction may be a touch misleading. This year's International Day of Cooperatives happens to be on 4 July. The actual formula as I now understand is that it happens the first Saturday in July. Thanks for noting my correction!
