"We don't do co-ops for co-ops' sake."
Cooperation Jackson founder Kali Akuno on how cooperative economics can drive social change.
“We think that the cooperatives and the tools of the social and solidarity economy can be used to liberate Black people by democratizing the economy, democratizing the means of production…but if these tools don’t get us where we need to go, then we’ll try something else.”
— Cooperation Jackson founder Kali Akuno, in discussion with Dr. Jared Ball (author of The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power)
