Fall DC Black CoopNomics Academy

Network for Developing Conscious Communities (NDCC) Black Coopnomics Academy initiative guides our strategic alignment for developing collective equity ownership in Black and Brown communities. The Black Coopnomics Academy aims to build racial and cultural strategies that advance economic investment in historically Black and Brown communities. As one organization, we are dedicated to transforming and economically empowering communities of color to move economic policies that create racial equitable communities.

The Black Coopnomics Academy promotes democratically owned cooperative modules through training and support for business growth and leadership development. Black Coopnomics Academy targets incubating cooperatives in economically dis-invested communities as places for establishing community-owned businesses embedded with solidarity principles such as equitable wages, local hiring practices, and local purchasing that support community based social enterprises.
