Economic Democracy-Finding a Co-op in Mid-Michigan

[jpbollma]

Lately, I have been very interested in co-ops as a form of economic democracy and a possible way for our nation's poor and middle-class to advance. My interest peaked due to my positive experience as a member of a credit union, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, and the recent news that the United Nations has declared 2012 the year of Co-ops.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me towards any co-ops in the Bay City, Midland, Saginaw, area in Michigan. I have scoured google and haven't found much. Perhaps there aren't any in this area ouside of credit unions. Thanks to anyone who may have some info they can share!!
