We just finished a great discussion of #JacksonRising. Thanks all! @neil will post the notes on Loomio with a link here. We used #Riot.io for chat and etherpad (did not work for one person) and #Zoom for conference calling. Overall we were very impressed by the ambition and thoroughness of the strategy that #CooperationJackson organizers have mapped out.

At the #labornotes conference, Kali Akuno of #CooperationJackson told me they would be happy to join a phone/video conference discussion with us about #JacksonRising. I think we should do this after our first online discussion.

I love that the #JacksonRising folks leave no revolutionary stone unturned. They are not afraid to learn from them all and apply them to their own situation in creative ways. #socialism #mutualism #leninism #anarchism #blacknationalism #antiimperialism #indigenism it's all on the table.
Reminds in some ways of #Bakur and #Rojava and revolutionary Kurds unique politics.

#JacksonRising is the most thought out contemporary political project I know of.
* reimagination of supply chains into sustainable processes
* nuanced approach to electoral politics, emphasizing community power
* critical race, class and gender analysis running through it all -
Been reading Jackson Rising (JR) side by side with Cabet's Voyage en Icarie, the utopian novel that inspired communities in the Western US. JR is utopian is the best sense - not a blueprint for a society in which perfect order prevails but horizontalist and "horizon-ist" strategic thinking. One thing I appreciate is how they have critically incorporated some of the best elements of the Mondragon experience, without the hype. #jacksonrising #readinggroup
