Cooperation Northfield is a collective of organizers engaged in projects that advance systemic change for a more just and sustainable economy starting in Northfield, Minnesota. Our goal is to build the Solidarity Economy - an economy based on environmental sustainability, democratic control by workers and the community, and prioritizing societal and community benefit instead of private profits. In order to accomplish this, our task is to build mass bases of people experienced in organizing against the exploitative capitalist system, and to build democratic institutions such as worker co-operatives, housing co-operatives, community land trusts, democratic schools, and people’s assemblies to serve as concrete and practical alternatives.
