Shareable caught up with Kali Akuno, Coordinator of Cooperation Jackson, to talk about the impact that the organization has had on the community. Cooperation Jackson is the manifestation of the solidarity economy aspect of that transformative vision. Cooperation Jackson has many ambitious plans. It would probably take a book to deal with them all. But, one of our primary objectives is to have a minimum of 10 percent of the jobs in Jackson be drawn directly from the federation of worker cooperatives that we are producing. And we are looking to have an even greater percentage of the city’s GNP being produced by Cooperation Jackson. The demographics of Birmingham is very similar to Jackson. So their ideas is incredible applicable as a development plan for Birmingham as well. Magic City, Rise!
