Is this relevent enough for CiviCRM Boston?

On November 16, 2018, the Harvard Law Forum will be hosting the New School's Professor Trebor Scholz, to talk about a global effort to form large-scale platform cooperatives: platform-based companies owned by the workers who create their profits! This would be a great thing for DSA members to get involved in, as it's a viable structure for workers to own the means of production. The event info, and links to the Harvard and Facebook events are below:
Own This! How to Take Back the Internet
Trebor Scholz will present activist research on the worker cooperative as a promising economic alternative for the digital economy. Showcasing work with platform co-ops in India, Germany, Australia, Brazil, and the United States, Scholz demonstrates that a democratically-owned People’s Internet is not only possible but that it’s a promising economic alternative for the digital economy.
