Collective purchasing
Decision-making around and structures enabling collective ownership.
What are some key problems that this process can solve?
Typically, collective purchasing paves the way for communities to collectively own resources to which they wouldn’t be able to access individually. Because of this, collective purchasing may help marginalized communities access critical resources much easily like housing, healthcare or education.
How does this process work?
Communities may collectively purchase and continue maintaining resources. This is a long-term process with steps necessary in legal structuring and decision-making facilitation.
