Cooperation Jackson is on the move! We are working diligently to advance the work of the Jackson-Kush Plan.



We have been busy since the Jackson Rising: New Economies Conference, establishing the institutional and operating structures of Cooperation Jackson, and systematically building cooperative enterprises.



We have launched two major initiatives to establish a firm foundation for our future: The Chokwe Lumumba Center for Economic Democracy and Development and the Sustainable Communities Initiative.

In order to make the Lumumba Center, including Nubia’s Place Cafe, fully functional and to acquire and complete the first phase of repairs and redevelopment work needed to turn the vacant lots and abandoned homes in West Jackson that we are trying to purchase into an “Eco-Village” and Urban Farming cooperative, we need to raise $500,000 over the course of the next 3 months.
