Featured Principle
Global Solidarity and Shared Learning – The Madison MAN Co-Op is a founding member and home
base of Humans United in Mutual Aid Networks (HUMANS), a global cooperative network designed
for mutual learning and support in service to building a neighborly global economy. In turn, the
HUMANS are an active partner in an even larger cooperative creating and implementing tech and
peer support tools for mutual aid.

New feature we are trying! This is a list of events, businesses, news, or organizations that our
members are passionate about and/or involved in. These items are not directly connected to
Madison MAN, this bulletin is a space for our members to share!
