This 5 minute film provides an introduction to the key concepts and approach of Community Economies scholarship, informed by the work of J.K.

In Jackson, Mississippi, Cooperation Jackson are building a solidarity economy, anchored by a network of cooperatives and worker-owned, democratically self-managed enterprises. This visionary project not only continues the historic Afro-American struggle for land, but shows how we can all make a just transition to a zero carbon, zero waste economy ourselves.

In order to defend the importance of art and culture in society, citizens must be encouraged to actively participate for the benefit of their community.
