Who we are:
Third Coast Workers for Cooperation is an Austin-based organization committed to the development of ecologically sustainable worker cooperatives. Our mission is to empower low-income communities to create a thriving network of eco-friendly, worker-owned businesses throughout the greater Austin area--combating the growing crisis in our economy and the environment at the local level. The City of Austin prides itself on its dedication to locally-owned businesses, compassion for the environment, and progressive character. Third Coast embodies all these qualities and more through the creation of democratic workplaces where people and the planet come first.
