Research Trip to Mondragon Part II: Insights from Anjel Errasti Today, we had the privilege of attending Anjel Errasti's enlightening talk at Mondragon. As a scholar who has delved deep into Mondragon's successes and failures, Anjel's work on the concept of Institutional Distance left a lasting impression. Mondragon, while not flawless, actively seeks critical perspectives. They understand that growth comes from acknowledging imperfections. Anjel's exploration of how institutional differences impact cooperative practices sheds light on the challenges faced by multinational worker cooperatives. Meeting Anjel in person was a true highlight. His insights have broadened my understanding of cooperative models and their global implications. 🌎 #Mondragon #Cooperatives #SocialSolidarityEconomy

Little Tokyo, home to ARG’s Los Angeles office since 2018, is included in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2024 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Little Tokyo has been the heart of Los Angeles’ Japanese American community since the 1880s and today, is one of only four recognized Japantowns in the United States. The neighborhood is defined and sustained by more than 400 local businesses featuring Japanese food, drinks, retail goods, and services, about 50 of which are long-term legacy businesses that have served the community for generations. However, in recent years, development pressures and rising rents have forced many of these cherished businesses to relocate or close, despite the best efforts of community groups and local advocates. This alarming trend of displacement poses a threat to the people, places, and institutions that make Little Tokyo such a unique and beloved place. Please sign the petition here to show your support for preserving Little Tokyo’s irreplaceable cultural heritage. https://ow.ly/vYYF50SkoRK #LittleTokyo #HistoricPreservation #Japantown #ARG #ArchitecturalResourcesGroup
