Nexus Community Partners

Hey, East Saint Paulers—our friends at East Side Community Investment Cooperative (ESCIC) are hosting Co-ops & Coffee this month!

ESCIC is a grassroots coalition of neighbors and organizers working to preserve and shape the future of our community through collective ownership, democratic decision-making, and local investment. In a time when outside developers often dictate the fate of our neighborhoods, ESCIC empowers East Siders to take the lead—securing sites for housing, businesses, and cultural spaces that reflect our values and meet our needs.
