TESA Collective (Toolbox for Education and Social Action) is a worker-owned co-op that designs games and tools for social justice organizations.[2] TESA consciously engages in ethical, social change practices that intend to create healthier communities.[3]
Social change games
Creating and publishing games that address issues of social and economic change is a growing trend.[4] TESA develops projects ranging from board games, to documentaries, to interactive webinars.[5] In cooperative games, everyone wins or everyone loses.
Games
Co-opoly is a board game that teaches players the ins and outs of negotiating a Cooperative business.[6]
In Rise Up: The Game of People and Power, players build a social movement and take on an oppressive system.[7][8]
Space Cats Fight Fascism is the fourth in a series of social justice games from the TESA Collective.[9]
TESA Collective and Jobs with Justice funded a labor organizing game on Kickstarter. In STRIKE!: The Game of Worker Rebellion, players grow their ranks, mobilize workers, and organize strikes around their city. The campaign for the game ran during a union drive at Kickstarter.[10]
