#697 | What does OWNERSHIP mean to you?
Issue 3 of our Dirty Words series is here π
In our latest report, we investigate the contemporary crisis of faith in traditional ownership models and the cultural instigators distributing agency amongst their communities to create meaningful change. Protein Members are invited to a special launch briefing at 4pm UTC on 16th November and will be the first to receive the report, so if youβre not a member yet you know what to do:
For everyone else, keep an eye on this page and make sure youβre signed up to this list π In other news, remember to RSVP to the Protein Boat Party to celebrate turning 25 with us this Wednesday, as itβs going to be fun one π€ͺ Also, a heads up weβre going to be sending you a readers survey next week to understand a bit more about who you lovely people are and how we can make this monthly journey around the internet (even more) awesome β¨
