S.Res. 922 is a Senate resolution expressing support for designating October 2024 as "National Co-Op Month" and recognizing the cooperative business model. The resolution commends cooperatives—businesses owned and governed by their member-users—for their economic contributions and positive community impacts. The resolution highlights that approximately 1,700 agricultural cooperatives operate over 9,500 facilities and generate more than $231 billion in annual business, while electric cooperatives serve 56 percent of U.S. land area and power over 21.5 million homes and businesses. The resolution also covers cooperatives in other sectors including credit unions serving 138 million members, food cooperatives, housing cooperatives, and worker-owned businesses. The resolution calls on the Senate to support the designation, commend the cooperative business model for its economic and community benefits, and commit to considering the impact on cooperatives when drafting future business-related legislation.
