🕊️ New Palestine Cooperative:
How It Works – Simple Guide
1. What is a Cooperative?
- A cooperative is a business owned by its members, not by one boss or company.
- Every member has one equal vote.
- Members share the profits, control the business, and support each other.
✅ We are all owners.
✅ We are all decision-makers.
✅ We are all protected.
2. Is the Cooperative a Real Company?
✅ YES.
- It is legally incorporated — just like any big company.
- It can sign contracts, open bank accounts, buy property, and do business.
- It lives on forever even if people come and go.
But no one person owns it — all of us do.
3. What About Personal Risk?
✅ Your house, your car, your personal money are safe.
- If the cooperative has a problem (like a business loss), only the cooperative’s money is affected.
- You can never be forced to pay personally unless you break the law or commit fraud (which honest people don’t do).
It’s limited risk, just like shareholders in a regular company.
4. How Will It Look in New Palestine?
Each small business unit will be a mini-cooperative:
- Owned by the workers (the members)
- Controlled democratically (everyone votes)
- Profits shared fairly among members
All units will follow one Common Charter we all agree to — based on peace, service, dignity, and solidarity.
5. Examples: What You Could Do As a Cooperative Member
✨ Imagine yourself building New Palestine in real life:
| Example | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Open a Palestine Café | You and others run it together. Customers come to a beautiful place of culture and unity. Profits are shared among workers. |
| Create a Digital Health Service | You join a co-op offering affordable online health checkups to Palestinians around the world. Each worker gets a vote and a share. |
| Start a Palestinian Storytelling App | You and your friends build it under the New Palestine platform. You own it together and grow it together. |
| Offer Language Lessons | You join a teaching co-op offering Arabic classes online. Students pay. You earn. You vote on decisions. |
| Run a Local Artisan Market | You and others run a market for Palestinian crafts. Every artisan is part of the co-op. You sell together, succeed together. |
| Tech & Coding Services | Tech-savvy members offer website and AI services under the New Palestine name. You share costs, risks, and rewards. |
6. How We Make Decisions
🗳️ Every member has one vote.
⚖️ Major changes (like new projects or changing the Charter) require a big group approval (ex: 2/3 vote).
💬 Everyone can speak, suggest, and vote — no boss can dictate.
We are building direct democracy, real and simple.
7. Why Is This Powerful?
- It can never be destroyed by one person.
- It can grow to thousands of small businesses worldwide.
- It belongs to the people, forever.
- It is peaceful, legal, strong, and decentralized.
This is how we build a nation without needing permission. 🌎
🕊️ Together, we build New Palestine —
businesses owned by the people, for the people, forever.
