Inspired by the work and legacy of the Honorable Chokwe Lumumba and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Cooperation Jackson is poised to make Jackson a model center of cooperative development in the U.S. “We explain it like this, getting back to what our grandparents did and then building from there,” says Nia Umoja of Cooperation Jackson. Making sure that the voices of the community are not only heard but are guiding how we move forward. Already Cooperation Jackson has acquired property, farmland, and a multitude of support to start incubating small worker-owned cooperatives within the city. The next steps are to grow the network of cooperatives and to start a cooperative school. #JxnRising #CooperationJackson
