“The primary mission of cooperation cannon river's (dba cooperation northfield) is to create social and environmental justice through grassroots organizing and direct democracy in minnesota. We do this in three key ways: youth organizing through our program young people's action coalition, which supports highschool and middle school student activists in southern minnesota in making social change in their schools and communities. Worker cooperative support through training and technical assistance for local green worker cooperatives, particularly in the growing sector of compost collection and compost processing, as well as free range poultry production. Climate justice organizing through engaging minnesota climate activists in the movement for renewable energy and to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. We educate and organize communities in opposition to fossil fuel infrastructure expansion, while promoting investment in renewable energy in minnesota.”
