Maria Munoz, a mother of three, will be one of the future members of the co-op.
Last year, we established a partnership with Workers Defense Project, a membership-based organization of Latino/a workers, to form a worker-owned green cleaning cooperative with its members. Since then, we have worked with five dedicated women to break free from the abuses in the cleaning industry and begin building a new model that puts people and the planet first.
After months of shaping every detail of their cooperative, Maria Muñoz, Cyndi Jimenez, Eva Marroquin, Brenda Jimenez and Lorena Hernandez will soon be the proud owners of the first worker-owned green cleaning cooperative in Texas! Is your house looking messy? Are you struggling to find time to clean up? Soon, these amazing women will take care of that mess for you! Sign up for our mailing list today to get the latest information about the date to celebrate their graduation from the Cooperative Business Institute and the public launch of their co-op!

Hey, I posted your link and congratulations on my band page. Way to go! Good luck. http://www.facebook.com/AmyQ.Band
This seems perfect…I have been looking for an environmentally safe cleaning service to come monthly. I rent two rooms in my house and no one seems to have time to do the details…dusting, bathroom and kitchen floors, shower, toilets and stovetop. We vacuum and pick up and wipe counters down, so it isn’t terrible. I want to support your cooperative. It’s a small house so perhaps a few hours. I will be a customer if we can afford it. We live in NW Austin (Parmer & McNeil).
Thanks, Robert. We’ll make sure to put you down on our contact. Someone from Dahlia will be contacting you after June 1st. We hope to see you at their graduation!
Thanks, AmyQ!
