**[Listen to the conversation here](https://news.kgnu.org/2019/11/looks-like-new-can-business-account-for-care-work/).**
Too often, the necessary care work that generates and sustains our lives occurs at the margins of the economy, unaccounted for and under-recognized. 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. Its a set of organizational tools and practices for people who want to work together in a cooperative, commons-oriented, and feminist economic form. Its also an alternative to the logic of blockchain-based Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs.
