Zach Murray is the Organizing Director of The Guild, a worker-owned community development cooperative based in Atlanta, Georgia. Started in 2015, The Guild was Atlanta’s first co-living company, creating spaces for changemakers — entrepreneurs, artists, and community organizers — to live, work, gather and thrive. The Guild also provided these changemakers with workshops and trainings cover everything from advanced business basics, to personal finance coaching, and even things like mindful meditation, to provide holistic support. After realizing these changemakers faced displacement, The Guild is focused on real estate development deals that are community-centered and create a pathway for community ownership. www.theguild.community This interview is part of the #BlackCoopsMatter series. The purpose of the series is to build a knowledge base for organizing and building a Black cooperative movement.
