At Upside Down Consulting (UDC), we are working to build a democratic economy in service to US social justice movements including organizations advancing Black liberation, immigrant rights, food justice, and the US labor movement. We specialize in cooperative start-up development, managing complex worker-centered initiatives, supporting existing businesses to become worker-owned, as well as policy advocacy and drafting. In partnership with Chicago organizers, UDC incubated ChiFresh Kitchen, a worker cooperative food service contracting business which is owned and determined primarily by formerly incarcerated folks living in the south & west sides of Chicago.
