In this workshop we will explore how to center worker owner voices and/or those most impacted in the development of policy and advocacy strategies as we push forward efforts to support democratic ownership. What kind of training and capacity building is needed? What kinds of processes can we develop that help move policy efforts forward and also allow for significant feedback loops? What kinds of expertise do we need to translate real needs into policy asks, and help translate policy to be understood by those that have been historically left out of policy spaces in the past?
