DESCRIPTION:For our October meeting we are read Parts 5 and 6 of Jackson Rising Redux: 
 Building the Future in the Present. (PM Press, Amazon).  For our  
 November  meeting  we  are reading  Parts  7,  8 and  the  
 Afterwords.\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.\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this
