DESCRIPTION:For our October meeting we are reading Parts 5 and 6 of Jackson Rising 
 Redux: Building the Future in the Present. (PM Press, Amazon)\nMississippi 
 is the poorest state in the US, with the highest percentage of Black people 
 and a history of vicious racial terror. Black resistance at a time of 
 global health, economic, and climate crisis is the backdrop and context for 
 the drama captured in this new and revised collection of essays. 
 Cooperation Jackson, founded in 2014 in Mississippi’s capital to develop 
 an economically uplifting democratic “solidarity economy,” is anchored 
 by a network of worker-owned, self-managed cooperative enterprises. The 
 organization developed in the context of the historic election of radical 
 Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, lifetime human rights attorney. Subsequent to 
 Lumumba’s passing less than one year after assuming office, the network 
 developed projects both inside and outside of the formal political arena. 
 In 2020, Cooperation Jackson became the center for national and 
 international coalition efforts, bringing together progressive peoples from 
 diverse trade union, youth, church, and cultural movements. This 
 long-anticipated anthology details the foundations behind those successful 
 campaigns. It unveils new and ongoing strategies and methods being pursued 
 by the movement for grassroots-centered Black community control and 
 self-determination, inspiring partnership and emulation across the 
 globe.\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this non-technical book group discussion
