Organizational bylaws can be tools to create equitable, inclusive, and democratic spaces for collaboration. They can also be jargon-laden documents that give power to only the few people who understand them. In this workshop, we will deconstruct traditional legalistic approaches to bylaw drafting, and explore how to create participatory bylaws for cooperatives and nonprofits that democratize knowledge, build leadership within your organization, and protect our organizations from cooptation. (Bonus: there will be cartoons!)
