@MtnBizWorks Thank you, @MtnBizWorks! So grateful for your support of our work and of #localbiz in #WNC.
We're in such great company! Humbled and inspired by the passionate work happening in our country:
Introducing the #CommunitiesThriveChallenge Grantees, 10 organizations using community-driven approaches to increase economic opportunity in their communities. The @RockefellerFdn & #ChanZuckerbergInitiative look forward to working with each #CTCGrantee. rockefellerfoundation.org/blog/announcin…
@BeneDataTrust @RockefellerFdn You guys, too! We are looking forward to meeting and learning from all the grantees...
We're over the moon! We are a #CommunitiesThriveChallenge Grantee! The support from the @RockefellerFdn & Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will make a big impact on #goodjobs & #EmployeeOwnership in #WNC. It’s an honor to be among such great company! #CTCGrantee ow.ly/Ww9830mRgaf
Congratulations to Meridian Speciality Yarn Group for being awarded by @ManufacturedNC for innovation in expansion and modernization. We're thrilled to be able to work with them on ways to engage and retain workers. ow.ly/f4z930mLQe6
And in news from across the sea, the UK's biggest animation company, @aardman , producers of #WallaceAndGromit, just sold to the employees to keep their company independent! #employeeownership ow.ly/Tiri30mBhEr
Thanks to the @MorgantonNews for covering our work and announcing we're finalists for the #CommunitiesThriveChallenge via the Chan Zuckerberg and @RockefellerFdn. This would be such an incredible opportunity for our community! ow.ly/OdOq30mcfH4

@LegaciesNc @newbelgium @MtnBizWorks @Gr8GameBusiness @AVLChamber Can't wait! thank you for inviting us.
It would be so hard to have to decide between these amazing organizations and all this inspirational work. Thank you to @RockefellerFdn @Upworthy #CommunitiesThriveChallenge for this #UpChat! Good luck to everyone!
A9: That our youth want to live here. Manufacturing workers have dignified jobs they r proud of. Work is rooted & has permanence. Work isn’t easily extracted. Highest saturation of democratically run workplaces w/ access to equity & ownership. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
A8: #LocallyOwned businesses are key! @AshevilleGrown, one of the strongest #GoLocal campaigns is our ally here in #WNC! Absentee ownership is extractive and doesn't build community wealth or real opportunity for equity. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge ow.ly/tFeW30mce1t
A7: Our poverty rate is nearly 20% but our unemployment rate is 3.7%. People are working but many of the jobs aren’t #goodjobs. They aren’t jobs that build opportunities, dignity and livelihoods 4 families. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge @facingsouth ow.ly/XcqQ30mcdSE
A6: Agency, voice, ownership, dignity, power. We specifically work in manufacturing and feel that these aspects (pay, benefits, etc.) are just foundational. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge youtu.be/9LZKEwUmx_A
A5: In between. We talk a lot about the difference between desperation and urgency. We have a sense of urgency that we need to improve the jobs and change traditional companies quickly, before they r lost. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge ow.ly/H1Et30mcdqs @projectequity
A4: We love @SelfHelpCU, they help frontline workers gain access to economic self sufficiency. We also love the stories coming from Work in Burke @BurkeDevInc highlighting youth building a positive future in #manufacturing. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
A#3: Make a list of your values, let them guide your work, your interactions with others, the people you serve, the organizations you partner with. If you know the “why” behind your work then the “how” will come much easier. #ListsAreCool #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
A2: Our poverty rate is nearly 20% but our unemployment rate is 3.7%. People are working but many of the jobs aren’t #goodjobs. We want to build opportunities, jobs with dignity and better livelihoods for families. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
We love #WesternNorthCarolina, it is naturally beautiful! People are resilient with deep roots. We are rural and connected, organizations tend to be collaborative because we know each other. #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
@ThomRuhe @RockefellerFdn @ncidea Thanks, Thom! we're over the moon and so inspired by all the other finalists #UpChat #CommunitiesThriveChallenge
