One bottom line
Planetary health.
Nothing else comes before it. First your community. Then the world.
Co-Sy. Act together.
Co-Sy is the Cooperating System. We help people act together, from the street to the planet.

Good news, not ads
We publish what people achieved.
We publish how people helped each other. Campaigns belong to our partners. We build the infrastructure.
Free for people
Free for individuals.
A freemium model for organisations.
We believe
Six things we hold to.
Thriving comes first.
When our cups are full, we can fill other cups.
Safety is in community.
We do better when we support one another than when we each hoard.
Good news builds motivation.
Posting what worked beats posting what frightens.
The messages are not ours.
We work with partners. They bring the causes.
Social media needs a shift.
From misinformation to positivity. From global to local. From ads to good messages.
First your community. Then the world.
Collective action starts at home.
Meet the people behind Co-Sy.
A small team, and the people who work alongside it.
