[Vision2020] Moscow Food Co-op needs our help

[Steven Basoa]

Save OUR Food Coop

The Moscow Food Co-op Board of Directors supported censorship of the  
Co-op’s newsletter, when five letters to the editor from Co-op  
members were deleted from the January 2012 issue.  That censorship  
resulted in editor Bill London resigning in protest.

The Moscow Food Co-op Board of Directors has made significant  
decisions in isolation, without allowing member input, in clear  
violation of the Co-op mission.  For example, in December of 2011,  
the board ruled, with no previous announcement or opportunity for  
member involvement, that members who had been Co-op employees or even  
job applicants in the last 2 years were NOT eligible to be board  
candidates.  Well-prepared candidates, including former Co-op board  
president Bill Beck and local farmer and former board member Margo  
Kay (who had both applied for Co-op jobs within the last two years)  
were not allowed to run for election.
