Spain-based activist [Stacco Troncoso](https://stacco.works/) is part of a movement to change that. Troncoso, a member of the Guerrilla Media Cooperative, is part of a collective developing a new model—the DisCO, or Distributed Cooperative Organization. It’s a set of organizational tools and practices for people who want to work together in a cooperative, commons-oriented, and feminist economic form. It’s also an alternative to the logic of blockchain-based Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs. **[Register here](https://cloud.medlab.host/apps/forms/form/9ewtcuacnmye2lrz)**, and [here is a map to the CASE building on CU Boulder's campus](https://www.colorado.edu/map/?id=336#!m/347439).
