DESCRIPTION:Promotoras Launch First Coop in South County\n\nMulti-Service ECOS Is Born 
 with Seven Immigrant Women\n\nExcellent Community Organizing and Services 
 LLC (ECOS) was incorporated on April 2 and will open its doors for business 
 following this public launch on Wednesday, June 26 at the offices of Human 
 Agenda, with the support of a $100,000 grant from the Office of Santa Clara 
 County Supervisor Sylvia Arenas. The press conference will take place at 
 noon at 1590 Oakland Road, Suite B211, San Jose, CA 95131.\n\nThis unique 
 worker-owned cooperative of immigrant women will offer community education, 
 translation and interpretation in three languages (Spanish, Triqui, and 
 English), home and office cleaning, and event-based childcare services. 
 Most of the women are survivors of gender-based violence or human 
 trafficking and have worked extensively as promotoras with Community 
 Solutions in Gilroy and Morgan Hill, providing community education 
 regarding domestic violence, human trafficking, and health issues. 
 Supervisor Sylvia Arenas, the seven worker-owners, incorporators and 
 members of other cooperatives in Santa Clara County will be available for 
 interviews at this novel and exclusive launch event\n\nThe Workers Control 
 the Business and Receive the Profit\n\n \n\nIn this age of rapidly growing 
 inequality and corporate decisions over which employees have no control, 
 the democratic community wealth building model of ECOS LLC offers a 
 refreshing alternative built upon internal democracy, equitable 
 compensation, and an atmosphere of cooperation and caring.     \n\nEach 
 worker is a co-owner. \nEach worker member has a vote in all 
 decision-making, even with their salary.  \nEach member contributes to 
 success by participating in one or more committees. \nEach member shares in 
 the profit produced by the business.  \n\nWhat:    Press Conference for
