Dear colleagues, friends and supporters,

We hope all is well with you. We are writing today to announce that we
are publicly
launching the first version of our DisCO Manifesto
<https://disco.coop/2019/11/you-say-decentralized-i-say-potato-the-disco-manifesto-is-live-and-ready-to-download/>
.

You are receiving this email because you contributed to this document, or
expressed an interest in reading it. As a reminder, DisCO stands for
Distributed Cooperative Organization. We see a DisCO as a way for people to
work and create value together that's cooperative, creates commons and is
based on feminist economic principles. Most of all, they're a more human
yet also radical alternative to the DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous
Organization
<https://blockchainhub.net/dao-decentralized-autonomous-organization/>,
which has different priorities and potential outcomes, to say the least.

Want to find out more? Then check out The DisCO Manifesto.

Download here <https://disco.coop/manifesto/>

If I Only Had a Heart: a DisCO Manifesto is our deep dive into the worlds
of the blockchain, commons, cooperatives, AI, feminist economics and so
much more! It's 80 pages long, adorned with amazing images, and will take
you about an hour to read straight through. We hope that the text is
engaging, lively and easy to read.

You can download the manifesto on PDF from this page
<https://disco.coop/manifesto/> (more versions coming soon), or you can

Co-published with the Transnational Institute <https://www.tni.org/> (TNI), the
Manifesto is the culmination of our work with the P2P Foundation
<https://p2pfoundation.net/>, Commons Transition
<https://primer.commonstransition.org/>, Guerrilla Translation
<https://www.guerrillatranslation.org/> and Guerrilla Media Collective
<https://wiki.guerrillamediacollective.org/index.php/Main_Page> groups. It
extends concepts such as Platform and Open Cooperativism
<http://commonstransition.org/from-platform-to-open-cooperativism/> into
new, exciting areas.
