WORCESTER — On the top floor of an old industrial building at 41 Jackson St., steps from a factory where garment workers a hundred years ago made women’s corsets, a printers’ cooperative is stoking a political revolution, one T-shirt and one coffee mug at a time.

WorX Printing, a worker-owned union print shop, turns out materials every day for the online shops of two of the Democratic Party’s leading lights, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., among a host of other progressive political organizations and causes.

Clients have included the Women’s March, Democrats.com, the American Friends Service Committee, Oxfam, the Green Party, Act Up, and chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America in Worcester and elsewhere.

“DSA chapters are finding us in droves right now,” said worker-owner Kevin O’Brien. “We’ve probably worked for a dozen now. They’re specifically looking for worker-owned union shops.”
