Blueprint For The Most Radical City On The Planet
By Bill Quigley. A federation of local cooperatives and mutual aid networks, Cooperation Jackson, has many concrete
forms including an urban farming coop, a food coop, a cooperative credit union, a hardware coop, and a
cooperative insurance plan. They plan to be an incubator for more coop startups, a school, a training
center, a cooperative credit union, a bank, a community land trust, community financial institutions like
credit unions, housing cooperative, childcare cooperative, solar and retrofitting cooperative, tool
lending and resource libraries, community energy production. They are also working to build an
organizing institute and a workers union.
Cooperation Jackson is an economic movement, a human rights movement and a movement insistent
on environmentally sustainable progress. They work for clean air and water, zero waste, and against
toxic industries.
