THE BIG QUESTION
Strong, caring communities. Enough food for everyone. A healthy planet. Lives filled with meaning.
This is the kind of world we all want.
So why don't we build it?
What's the plan?
We have to view the world as it is - made up of complicated, connected systems: A planet in crisis. A failing economy. A divided society. Broken party politics.
This is the story of the world today and nobody (apart from the 1% at the top) benefits from keeping it this way. No ordinary person wants corrupt leaders, crop failures or the culture war and, to put it simply, there are more of us than there are of them. So…
The big answer
...we propose a new story. In this version, the 99% works through our differences and chooses to put all our wisdom, knowledge, love and technology to use. We choose to construct better systems, ones that build us up rather than keep us down.
A healthy earth. A Solidarity Economy. Strong communities. Local democracy.

Want to be part of something bigger?
Cooperation Hull is one part of a growing movement that is both local and global. Our mission is to help create a new kind of civilization fit for the 21st century, and we need all the help we can get. Sign up and we’ll help you find your place in the movement. Many hands make light work.
How We Work
We start local, work with what we've got already (which in Hull, is a LOT), experiment all the time, and learn from each other.
The good news is, we're not starting from scratch and we're not alone! This stuff is already working all over the world. We've borrowed ideas and tools all the way from Mississippi (Cooperation Jackson) to the Middle East (Rojava) and the East Riding.
