Pilar DeJesus from TakeRoot Justice began her testimony in support of the Worker Cooperative Development Initiative but was cut short due to technical difficulties. She emphasized the importance of worker cooperatives in dismantling racial, economic, and social oppression in New York City. Additional points:
- TakeRoot Justice provides legal, research, and policy support to grassroots and community-based groups.
- DeJesus intended to submit a more formal written testimony.
- The testimony highlighted the value of worker cooperatives, especially in certain contexts (though the specific context was not fully elaborated due to the audio issues).
