Building a Solidarity Economy Movement: A Guide for Grassroots Activism

The Cooperative and Policy Alternative Center (COPAC) has also put this activist guide together to celebrate its tenth anniversary as a grassroots NGO supporting cooperative development in South Africa. In these ten years we have set up over 120 cooperatives and have experienced many failures and important successes. Most importantly we learned from the most passionate amongst the poorest of the poor about the emancipatory potential of cooperative alternatives. It is this learning and rethinking that also informs the content of this activist guide.
