The Build and Fight strategy is being applied in Jackson, MS. It emphasizes creating autonomous, cooperative institutions (Build) while simultaneously engaging in organized resistance against oppressive systems (Fight). It promotes grassroots economic self-determination, dual power, and mass mobilization to challenge capitalism, white supremacy, and ecological destruction, fostering a just transition. We engage electoral politics on our terms, completely independent of the two corporate parties.
