A formerly vacant storefront on Brookside Avenue is now humming with the sound of printing presses and collaborative brainstorming sessions. Known as TruePress Co-op, the new worker-owned print shop has officially opened its doors, offering everything from business cards to large-format banners. Unlike a traditional company, each staff member at TruePress holds a stake in the enterprise, sharing both risks and rewards.
Founding member Rashida Greene explained that the cooperative model stems from the neighborhood’s desire for more equitable and stable employment options. “We wanted to build a place where each person’s voice matters,” Greene said. “When your livelihood and your community’s well-being are on the line, you’re going to show up with all you’ve got.” Early clients have been drawn by the shop’s fair pricing and its commitment to reinvesting profits into local youth programs and job training workshops. Neighborhood leaders are hopeful that TruePress Co-op’s success will inspire other worker-owned ventures around the city.
