Southerners working on an equitable, just, new economy gathered in Epes, Alabama October 4-6, at the site of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives Research and Training Center to share knowledge, skills and inspiration. (Pictured above is one group's "honeycomb" vision of a Southern cooperative economy.)
CoopEcon 2013 is a conference geared toward helping current and future cooperators who are doing the work of building and strengthening new community-based enterprises in their communities. Hosted by the Southern Grassroots Economies Project (SGEP), this was the 2nd annual CoopEcon conference. The Democracy at Work Institute is part of the SGEP, and we are energized and excited by the work happening in the South right now!
