Halfway into the second chapter. It's an ambitious program and strategy they've pulled together, and I'm super curious to learn more. Some good grist for the localized community organizing mill already...
Mic Check! Everybody ready for the next book, Jackson Rising?

Got it and started reading it a while ago, then stopped for other tasks. Glad to get back to it.

I'm about 25% into the book; great thus far!

@mattnoyes not quite sure what you're asking with your poll? That people should check it when they have read the book, or something else?
Matthew CroppMon 19 Mar 2018 6:27PM
Or that your are collecting the list of folks who plan to read it?

"Cooperation Jackson is an emerging network of cooperatives and grassroots institutions that aim to build a “solidarity economy.” By seizing on the crisis and weak links of modern capitalism and building on the historic struggles for racial equality by the black people of Mississippi, Cooperation Jackson has created a model we can all learn from." - Richard Moser, Black Agenda Report
