Cooperation Jackson will be hosting several Presidential Candidate forums in September and October to educate our community about the full complement of democratic choices that are available to people in Mississippi and throughout the United States. This is part of our educational mission to “socialize production and democratize society”. Our first candidate forum is with Socialist Presidential Candidate, Claudia de la Cruz, who represents the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). We are working to bring Cornel West and Jill Stein to Jackson to educate our community about their efforts to build alternatives to the political duopoly that dominates the United States political arena.

Socialist presidential candidate Claudia de la Cruz is coming to Jackson, Mississippi. If you’re frustrated by the two-party “lesser of two evil” politics that seems incapable of delivering transformative change for Black people in America, come to Cooperation Jackson on Tuesday, Sep. 17 at 6:30pm.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the country. Jackson—the only city in the state with a population exceeding 100k people—has experienced the largest population decline of any major US city in the last 10 years.

When it comes to Black economic and social freedom, we are told that our options are limited to a vote for Harris or for Trump, and affiliation with a blue or red political block, both led by ruling class elites and committed to exploitation and Empire. But is that true? Is there really no strategic vision outside of the two-party status quo?

Join the conversation with presidential candidate Claudia de la Cruz and Cooperation Jackson!
