Ah, it is a listserv ( [1]https://npogroups.org/lists/info/tech-coop )
and network of tech businesses that are organized as worker
cooperatives ( [2]https://www.techworker.coop/ ). There is a similar
group/listserv that is more international ( [3]https://patio.ica.coop/
) although both have a worldwide reach. The worker cooperative
movement is very in line with free software.

I just saw this on the Tech-Coop listserv and thought it would be
relevant here: [10]https://savedotorg.org/
(note, uBlock Origin blocks the form you need to fill out to sign it,
if
you have that app you need to disable it for it to work)
