The original group that founded Currents met through an organization called the Federation of Ohio River Co-ops (FORC.) FORC created a cooperative system of food co-ops throughout Ohio and adjoining parts of nearby states. This organization has been described as a participatory democracy, founded on cooperative principles. The group that splintered off FORC put these principles into action and brought these values with them when developing Currents. Many members of Currents have dedicated their lives to community organizing. Buttons collected from over the years highlight a few of the causes supported by two of Currents founding members, Marty Zinn and Pete Hill.
