Produce and cooperate to prosper.
Series Description
From small associations to large industrial cooperatives, Solidarity Planet travels throughout Brazil (from Rio Grande do Sul, and Mato Grosso do Sul, to Bahia, Ceará, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais) to show solidarity economy enterprises in the city and in the countryside.
The 13-episode series proves that a solidarity economy, public policies, and alternative management strategies are possible for a sustainable world. Each episode deals with a theme related to this mode of production and social organization and presents successful experiences, public policies, and alternative management strategies to the capitalist model.

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.570
Our dear Paul Singer,
00:01:22.570 --> 00:01:25.950
he said that the solidarity
economy was human rescue,
00:01:25.950 --> 00:01:27.800
the rescue of humanity.
00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:32.330
Work is a process of humanization.
00:01:32.330 --> 00:01:35.580
Slavery, exploitation of work
and subordination,
00:01:35.580 --> 00:01:37.630
it is a process of dehumanization.
00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:48.010
I worked a very significant
period in the factory,
00:01:48.010 --> 00:01:51.970
and I was questioning myself,
this repetitive work,
00:01:51.970 --> 00:01:56.520
for the fight it\'s worth it but for
the work itself it doesn\'t make you happy.
00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:00.020
You don\'t know anything, neither where
it comes from nor where it goes.
00:02:02.530 --> 00:02:06.490
Of course, the biggest achievement was to be able
to make the achievements inside the factory,
00:02:06.490 --> 00:02:10.280
just like we got the same salary
for men and for women,
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.660
to match that of men.
00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:16.000
A help for mothers,
so that they could
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.580
pay where to leave their
children during the working day,
00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:23.130
then there were achievements that were
major milestones within the factory,
00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:27.130
but I also needed some
fulfillment at work.
00:02:27.130 --> 00:02:29.470
Then when the factory fired me
00:02:29.470 --> 00:02:32.890
I started to sew on my
own here at home,
00:02:32.890 --> 00:02:35.480
and I also became more involved
in the neighborhood struggle.
00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:43.570
Many factories closed
in the garment sector
00:02:43.570 --> 00:02:47.740
and many women became unemployed
and began to sew on their own,
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:52.660
but that was already going into crisis,
because it wasn\'t worth it.
00:02:52.660 --> 00:02:55.830
And then at that time
there was a manifestation
00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:59.000
and that day there were some
of the hospital directors,
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.920
and we asked if we could
sew for hospital,
00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:05.250
we did not imagine, each of us,
with our machines
00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:06.800
the way it was,
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.180
then DEC said yes, as long as we did
a cooperative or an association.
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:12.930
We were just three of us,
00:03:12.930 --> 00:03:15.850
then we called the first meeting,
19 came,
00:03:15.850 --> 00:03:18.230
at the second meeting 35 women came.
00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:23.810
We were getting together with other
cooperatives here in Porto Alegre
00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:25.480
to meet high demands,
00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:29.280
just as it was the first world social forum,
the second, third, fourth,
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.570
education forums,
00:03:31.570 --> 00:03:35.490
but it bothered us that we were
buying again from a capitalist,
00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:37.580
then our final prices
00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:41.000
were always hostage to the
value of the raw material,
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.130
and hostage also to the limit
that the market pays.
00:03:45.130 --> 00:03:46.840
And we started to dream
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.930
and to think about this possibility of joining
various stages of production.
00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:01.640
Today Justa Trama is
formed by five links,
00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:07.690
there is the Adec association there in Tauá,
right in the backlands of Ceará,
00:04:07.690 --> 00:04:12.360
where it is planted in an agroecological way
raw cotton and brown cotton.
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.030
Also in Mato Grosso do Sul
in the Itamaraty settlement
00:04:16.030 --> 00:04:19.660
there is AEFAFE which is the
Frontier Agricultural Family and Association,
00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:25.330
there we plant ruby and green cotton,
and in an inverse process of Ceará,
00:04:25.330 --> 00:04:28.170
when Ceará plants,
they are harvesting.
00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:30.760
After there it goes
to Coopertextil,
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:35.930
which is where the fabric thread is made and also
the pre-shrinking and printing of the fabric,
00:04:35.930 --> 00:04:38.760
and it comes to Porto Alegre then,
where the UNIVENS cooperative
00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:42.730
sometimes we create pieces, sometimes
we have partnerships with designers,
00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:48.860
but we do the cutting and sewing,
embroidering or screen printing,
00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:53.400
and here in Porto Alegre is also where
we do the dyeing process,
00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:56.950
which is one of the last processes
that we incorporated,
00:04:56.950 --> 00:05:02.870
to be able to make the pieces of different colors,
with natural pigments, plant pigments.
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.560
Justa Trama followed two
very important principles,
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.310
to preserve the environment,
00:05:23.310 --> 00:05:28.690
so you have an end-to-end product
which is organic, is certified by IBD,
00:05:28.690 --> 00:05:31.030
and we work it in a consortium way,
00:05:31.030 --> 00:05:34.280
agroecology, which is
much more than organic.
00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:37.870
It is to work the diversity
of the plantation,
00:05:37.870 --> 00:05:40.080
because it helps to
preserve the land,
00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:43.700
and also sesame, for example,
helps to repel the boll weevil.
00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:46.250
The other very important
element of Justa Trama
00:05:46.250 --> 00:05:49.710
is that all stages
of production are us,
00:05:49.710 --> 00:05:53.420
therefore we discuss the value,
and we define, together,
00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:55.840
what is the value
for the cotton farmer,
00:05:55.840 --> 00:05:59.350
what is the value that each seamstress
must earn to make a t-shirt,
00:05:59.350 --> 00:06:01.640
to make a dress,
to make a pair of pants,
00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:04.480
according to the time it
takes to do this work.
00:06:10.020 --> 00:06:14.940
Cooperation networks make it possible to
bring together members of the same segment
00:06:14.940 --> 00:06:18.700
or connect the various links
of a production chain.
00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:26.370
When you join these links
that are separated,
00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:31.540
you make the farmer who produces
agroecological cotton,
00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:36.510
not only guarantees that there will be a market
to sell your product,
00:06:36.510 --> 00:06:42.260
but it will ensure that he shares
in the earnings of the final product.
00:07:04.830 --> 00:07:08.410
Itamaraty was an expropriated farm,
00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:12.330
We were settled in 2007.
00:07:12.330 --> 00:07:15.800
Itamaraty has around
3 thousand families.
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:20.260
The main activity is milk,
00:07:20.260 --> 00:07:23.350
we plant as complementary activities.
00:07:23.350 --> 00:07:30.270
We plant a vegetable garden to deliver
to government projects, PA and PENAI.
00:07:30.270 --> 00:07:33.480
We also produce cotton for Justa Trama.
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.730
When the issue of transgenics arose,
00:07:36.730 --> 00:07:40.950
we held several risk discussion seminars,
00:07:40.950 --> 00:07:45.330
what this culture and this system can bring
00:07:45.330 --> 00:07:50.460
for agricultural production in general,
it\'s not just cotton, it\'s everything.
00:07:51.750 --> 00:07:55.000
Then I created a circle of friendship,
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.840
other comrades joined in the direction
of Movement of the Landless
00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:00.630
and it ended up being that
we were settled here.
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:09.810
And precisely on the farm where it was considered
the queen of soy in the 80s.
00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:17.190
This is the tree that extracts
neem seed oil,
00:08:17.190 --> 00:08:20.280
but you also make compost with the leaf.
00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:29.290
If you dry it, you can use this
here to control... Tick, fly.
00:08:29.290 --> 00:08:31.790
Add to cattle feed.
00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:36.040
And if you take this here and mash it
with water or alcohol,
00:08:36.040 --> 00:08:39.510
you use it as a repellent, too,
in the fields.
00:08:39.510 --> 00:08:45.760
And this comes from India.
Now this is our chinaberry tree,
00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:48.510
You can see that they are somewhat similar.
00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:55.060
Look around us here, how many
species are on our property.
00:08:55.060 --> 00:08:59.360
He has papaya, banana, cotton,
sesame, beans
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.940
So, he diversified his property.
00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:06.870
This is a trap to catch insects
00:09:06.870 --> 00:09:10.580
that can harm the cotton plantation.
00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:15.420
You can see that there is a distribution in the area,
00:09:15.420 --> 00:09:17.500
so the more you put in,
00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:23.880
this is probably a solution
which has urine, to attract, and salt,
00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:26.590
that attracts insects
and they don\'t go to the plant.
00:09:28.300 --> 00:09:32.180
And our organic production system
is precisely in small areas,
00:09:32.180 --> 00:09:36.810
at most one hectare,
where we have complete control.
00:09:36.810 --> 00:09:42.820
Consortium with other plants helps
to eliminate the proliferation of insects and pests,
00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:45.820
but it has a lot of resistance, right?
00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:47.570
and...
00:09:49.910 --> 00:09:52.870
Faced with agribusiness
00:09:52.870 --> 00:09:58.040
our production sometimes causes problems
instead of solution.
00:09:59.590 --> 00:10:01.920
And still we need
market guarantee.
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:04.510
Today we produce
colored organic cotton
00:10:04.510 --> 00:10:08.590
because we have the security of
trading with Justa Trama.
00:10:08.590 --> 00:10:11.140
This gives security to the farmers.
00:10:11.140 --> 00:10:15.600
We may have the difficulties of
climate, temperature,
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.940
those normal farmer things,
00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:23.110
but we have the security of purchase guarantee.
00:10:23.110 --> 00:10:25.280
I am a father of three children
00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:27.320
and I try to pass that on to my children.
00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:34.200
That the big problem today, I think,
of family farming, is family succession,
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.580
it\'s young people wanting to
stay in the countryside.
00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:38.790
That for me is the big problem.
00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:44.800
And it\'s not to produce organic, it\'s to
stay on the farm, really, produce in the field.
00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:48.300
So my concern is this,
00:10:48.300 --> 00:10:51.720
and we have to add to this concern
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:54.560
access to technology,
00:10:54.560 --> 00:10:55.980
to comfort,
00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:58.770
for the well-being of young people,
00:10:58.770 --> 00:11:03.270
the availability of income generation,
I don\'t even talk about work,
00:11:03.270 --> 00:11:05.400
You have to generate income on the farm, right?
00:11:05.400 --> 00:11:09.280
Because if you go to a big center,
you have to work,
00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:11.700
so the work of the farm is not work?
00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:13.120
For me it is.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.950
You have to generate income, do
this work that I develop here
00:11:16.950 --> 00:11:19.080
pay my bills at the end of the month.
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.960
Because the energy arrives
at the end of the month,
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.090
and sometimes such a culture
it takes four months to arrive.
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.260
It\'s a lion a day, right?
00:11:28.260 --> 00:11:33.510
But we decided to go
organic in this philosophy.
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.400
The cotton processing takes
place in this machine,
00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:48.690
we put the raw cotton in
this container here,
00:11:48.690 --> 00:11:51.200
put here
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.320
and the saws go round
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.370
and expelling the plume beyond
00:11:56.370 --> 00:11:58.500
and the lump is falling here.
00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:44.790
Solidarity economy ventures,
in capitalist society,
00:12:44.790 --> 00:12:48.550
are in a subordinate position.
00:12:48.550 --> 00:12:54.380
That is, the low participation
in the volume of sales made,
00:12:54.380 --> 00:12:56.680
and the economic results achieved,
00:12:56.680 --> 00:13:00.850
makes them subaltern
compared to the big market,
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:03.350
that is, who dominates the markets.
00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:09.610
So the producer, the
craftsman, the seamstress,
00:13:09.610 --> 00:13:12.280
alone they don\'t have much capacity,
00:13:12.280 --> 00:13:18.370
don\'t have much of a chance to face
this reality in a subordinate way.
00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:22.870
When you join in association, in
cooperative, you are also limited.
00:13:22.870 --> 00:13:28.000
Subordination will express political,
technological, economic dependence
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.010
of these solidarity economy initiatives
in relation to decisions
00:13:32.010 --> 00:13:36.340
mainly in the market, are taken in
other spaces and by other factors.
00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:41.970
So subordination, subalternity,
limit a lot
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:45.480
the expansion of capabilities
in the solidarity economy.
00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:56.990
To face these challenges
in the solidarity economy
00:13:56.990 --> 00:14:01.200
in Brazil,
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.750
in the last decades,
we have highly valued the idea of networks.
00:14:05.750 --> 00:14:08.960
First the social networks,
the political networks.
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.840
The solidarity economy is only constituted
in the Brazilian reality
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.550
when it is recognized as a social movement,
00:14:16.550 --> 00:14:19.430
as a political movement
which brings a proposal,
00:14:19.430 --> 00:14:23.390
brings a strategy in society
to discuss development.
00:14:23.390 --> 00:14:29.810
They are enterprises, they are
support entities, are public managers,
00:14:29.810 --> 00:14:34.190
who organize themselves and say
\"the solidarity economy is very important\".
00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:51.790
On December 10, 1985,
00:14:51.790 --> 00:14:55.550
I got a job here at
Companhia Fiação e Tecelaria Pará de Minas,
00:14:55.550 --> 00:14:59.550
where I worked until 1997 as an employee.
00:14:59.550 --> 00:15:03.310
But the financial difficulties
of the company were big,
00:15:03.310 --> 00:15:05.520
then they declared bankruptcy,
00:15:05.520 --> 00:15:10.310
and then there was the opportunity
for us to found Coopertextil.
00:15:10.310 --> 00:15:15.400
Until then, we didn\'t know what a cooperative
was, we didn\'t know how it worked,
00:15:15.400 --> 00:15:20.360
so the late Alfeu Silva Mendes
was called at the time,
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:25.370
who was the president of OCEMG, Organization
of the Cooperatives of the State of Minas Gerais,
00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:29.040
he came to the factory,
set up a meeting with us,
00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:32.040
we were remnants of the Fiação
e Tecelaria Pará de Minas
00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:36.210
and at an assembly he explained to
us how a cooperative would work.
00:16:01.570 --> 00:16:03.320
When I arrived at the company
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.580
there were 450 employees,
00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:07.580
all of them with notice.
00:16:07.580 --> 00:16:10.830
I was the only one who was coming to run a firm,
00:16:10.830 --> 00:16:12.920
where everyone was with notice,
00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:15.790
to lose their jobs for 30 days.
00:16:15.790 --> 00:16:22.430
But we entered and managed to maintain
this company for three years,
00:16:22.430 --> 00:16:26.470
that\'s when we made a choice
to become a cooperative.
00:16:42.490 --> 00:16:45.820
All members here
have a specific function,
00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:49.200
whose specific function,
have a specific remuneration
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:50.660
for that area.
00:16:50.660 --> 00:16:53.250
And we have, in addition
to our remuneration,
00:16:53.250 --> 00:16:57.840
we have a ticket that is
25% on top of the value
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.170
that each member withdraws monthly.
00:17:00.170 --> 00:17:02.760
Because we don\'t have a salary,
we have withdrawal.
00:17:02.760 --> 00:17:06.090
We have gone from being
employees to being owners.
00:17:18.610 --> 00:17:22.110
The only difference from
the Labor Laws is that
00:17:22.110 --> 00:17:25.360
you have the guarantee fund.
00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:27.160
In the cooperative you don\'t have,
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.580
but on the other hand you have, if there
is production, if you have a good surplus,
00:17:32.580 --> 00:17:37.000
you earn much more
than if you work under Labor Laws.
00:17:39.630 --> 00:17:42.130
Your service is safer,
00:17:42.130 --> 00:17:44.970
because in the Labor Laws
if you have a crisis
00:17:44.970 --> 00:17:48.010
you are dismissed, right?
00:17:48.010 --> 00:17:49.050
In the cooperative, no.
00:17:49.050 --> 00:17:53.430
the cooperative has that bond
with the cooperator,
00:17:53.430 --> 00:17:57.400
so it can decrease some things,
decrease hours,
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.270
but dismiss it can not.
00:18:00.270 --> 00:18:04.070
Only if you do something very serious
00:18:04.070 --> 00:18:06.820
for you to be fired from a cooperative.
00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:17.000
We received the fabric of Justa Trama,
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.500
the raw fabric,
00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:23.590
we process it\'s bleaching, we put it
in conditions to do the finishing.
00:18:23.590 --> 00:18:27.300
This fabric passed through the scorcher,
00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:29.930
underwent continuous bleaching,
00:18:29.930 --> 00:18:32.760
and comes to the machine.
00:18:32.760 --> 00:18:35.140
Then the fabric was taken to the branch,
00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:40.150
the rama is a machine in which you
put products for you to soften the fabric
00:18:40.150 --> 00:18:43.320
and regularize the width of the fabric.
00:18:47.610 --> 00:18:52.830
In addition to political networks, organizations,
forums, social networks,
00:18:52.830 --> 00:18:57.250
we have cooperation networks
in the solidarity economy,
00:18:57.250 --> 00:19:02.210
which are cooperation networks
focused on economic activities.
00:19:02.210 --> 00:19:05.880
They are articulation strategies
and organization,
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.720
from the principles of cooperation,
of self-management,
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:14.220
to enable its production, distribution
and consumption initiatives,
00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:20.150
expanding their autonomy capabilities
in social, political and economic relations.
00:19:20.150 --> 00:19:25.780
A social network is characterized exactly
as an innovative form of organization
00:19:25.780 --> 00:19:30.070
because there is independence
of its members in relation to others.
00:19:30.070 --> 00:19:35.450
You have the points and nodes in the networks,
but there is no subordination relationship.
00:19:36.830 --> 00:19:40.420
Each of the network points
is an information transmitter
00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:44.590
that will make the network work,
so these characteristics of the social network
00:19:44.590 --> 00:19:48.340
are absorbed in the solidarity
economy cooperation networks.
00:19:50.010 --> 00:19:52.970
The people of Justa Trama, mainly Neusa,
00:19:52.970 --> 00:19:55.180
come here to Minas Gerais a lot,
00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:57.470
every time they come, they visit us.
00:19:57.470 --> 00:20:02.900
We follow the Justa Trama
through Mato Grosso, Ceará,
00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:07.530
in several promotions that Justa Trama made,
00:20:07.530 --> 00:20:09.280
in several meetings,
00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:12.490
there are always people from
here in the cooperative
00:20:12.490 --> 00:20:15.620
to follow up,
give your testimony,
00:20:15.620 --> 00:20:17.740
to provide your information.
00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:21.120
Even in the wiring part
it helped us a lot,
00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:26.840
we had to change the cards,
a piece that calls cardinho filatório
00:20:26.840 --> 00:20:30.470
are expensive pieces, and
Justa Trama gives us
00:20:30.470 --> 00:20:34.340
at the time it seems to me it
was 170, 180 thousand reais,
00:20:34.340 --> 00:20:37.930
in parts, which were made
available to Coopertextil.
00:20:37.930 --> 00:20:40.890
It helped us a lot in this process.
00:20:51.280 --> 00:20:54.240
The networks make it possible
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.450
the logistical and economic
cooperation support
00:20:57.450 --> 00:21:00.660
to articulate activities of
small associated producers
00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:04.000
and their collective undertakings.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.000
The networks will enable a gain of scale,
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.130
regularity, consistency in
offering products or services.
00:21:12.970 --> 00:21:16.970
You have more knowledge exchange,
technological exchange,
00:21:16.970 --> 00:21:19.810
to improve quality and productivity,
00:21:19.810 --> 00:21:23.060
and optimization of production
and management costs.
00:21:23.060 --> 00:21:24.770
\"Do it twice.\"
00:21:25.190 --> 00:21:28.190
With that, we have better gains,
00:21:28.190 --> 00:21:31.280
adding value to products and services.
00:21:37.370 --> 00:21:41.580
As we are several cooperatives
and we are in the five regions of Brazil,
00:21:41.580 --> 00:21:43.250
we have a challenge:
00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:46.710
that in every place where we are,
we get involved with the environment.
00:21:46.710 --> 00:21:48.170
Don\'t just be focused
00:21:48.170 --> 00:21:51.880
on ensuring that the cooperative remains,
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.920
but that their environments
have a concrete action.
00:21:56.340 --> 00:22:00.760
And we here from the beginning, we
looked a lot at the issue of women,
00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:04.060
and the community what she most demanded
was for her to have a space
00:22:04.060 --> 00:22:05.980
where the children could stay.
00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:10.320
Because all the day care centers that
existed here, even though they had agreements,
00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:14.900
had such high values that
women often had to work
00:22:14.900 --> 00:22:18.990
to be able to pay for school, then
it wasn\'t worth her to be working,
00:22:18.990 --> 00:22:23.120
so she ended up staying
and she brought no income into the house.
00:22:34.510 --> 00:22:36.840
In addition to the economic advantages,
00:22:36.840 --> 00:22:40.390
we also have political and
organizational advantages.
00:22:40.390 --> 00:22:43.970
Instead of each enterprise
presenting its specific demand,
00:22:43.970 --> 00:22:46.980
they come together, plan, organize,
00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:50.900
and seek to present their demands
in an articulated way.
00:22:52.230 --> 00:22:56.570
This makes access to public
policies more structured,
00:22:56.570 --> 00:22:59.240
you have more structured projects,
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:01.780
to precisely enable certain sectors,
00:23:01.780 --> 00:23:03.450
certain segments.
00:23:06.750 --> 00:23:08.790
Solidarity economy ventures,
00:23:08.790 --> 00:23:12.540
Solidarity economy workers have rights,
00:23:12.540 --> 00:23:15.920
therefore they must access public policies,
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.130
must access public funds.
00:23:22.890 --> 00:23:25.220
So this dress will now go through
00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:28.640
all the places where
we have points of sale,
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.310
which is at fairs, it
is through the website,
00:23:31.310 --> 00:23:34.860
it is in stores that have a
partnership with us for sale.
00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:39.150
The cotton came from Ceará,
is planted by Adec
00:23:39.150 --> 00:23:43.120
where they do the process
until they bale it,
00:23:43.120 --> 00:23:44.830
went to Minas Gerais,
00:23:44.830 --> 00:23:48.410
Coopertextil, who made the
yarn, made the fabric,
00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:50.830
and also made it\'s stamp.
00:23:50.830 --> 00:23:52.670
And from there it came to here,
00:23:52.670 --> 00:23:54.420
and here we cut,
00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:59.420
the Univens cooperative cut
and sewed this dress,
00:23:59.420 --> 00:24:00.930
which is now ready
00:24:01.890 --> 00:24:03.090
to the market.
