Kali Akuno and Ajamu Nangwaya discuss building a solidarity economy at Cooperation Jackson - from the project's roots in the New Afrikan independence movement of the 1970s to the mayoral campaigns of Chokwe and Chokwe Antar Lumumba and the formation of Cooperation Jackson in 2013.

Cooperation Jackson is all about building the solidarity economy in Jackson MS, an essential element of the Jackson-Kush plan for sustainability and economic justice. Kali and Ajamu are edited and contributed to to the new collection Jackson Rising: The Struggle for Economic Democracy and Self-Determination in Jackson, Mississippi from Daraja Press.
