OccuCopy has emerged from the Occupy Wall Street movement, where since the beginning interest had been growing regarding the possibility of building worker cooperatives as lasting institutions that embody the movement's values in a pragmatic and sustainable fashion. OccuCopy represents an initial effort to put something on the ground, grown out of the specific fact that OWS's Outreach department was spending | around $2,000 a week on copies at the local Staples and Apple Copiers. After securing a percentage of these sales and subsidized office space at the Brooklyn Commons, OccuCopy decided to recur to The Working World for access to sufficient capital to respond quickly to orders during its start-up phase. During this initial phase, the primary expected costs will be ink, paper, and button pieces. |
