The Democracy at Work Institute is a small- to mid-sized non-profit organization based in Oakland, California, focused on expanding cooperative business ownership. It seeks to reach communities most affected by social and economic inequality, ensuring growth in the worker-ownership movement remains rooted in existing worker cooperatives while expanding ownership to new communities. Acting as a national think-and-do organization, it supports the development of worker cooperatives and the broader ecosystem surrounding them. The institute serves worker cooperatives and other organizations aiming to cultivate inclusive ownership cultures across workplaces. In 2024, it formed a partnership with A&H to support the development of ownership cultures in participating workplaces.
