Trapped No More - How Cooperative Economics Can Set Black Communities Free

Black communities have long faced systemic barriers that limit economic independence. Many struggle with disjointed efforts, lack of access to capital, and a reliance on systems that don’t serve our interests. Without coordinated action, generations continue to face financial insecurity and missed opportunities for growth.

It may have seemed as if you are just watching wealth and resources flow outside our communities and this can feel disheartening. Too often, individual efforts are insufficient to overcome structural inequalities, leaving promising businesses, families, and neighborhoods trapped in cycles of dependence and limitation. The lack of collective economic power undermines our potential to create lasting change.

Trapped No More offers a proven roadmap to liberation through cooperative economics. Rooted in Garveyite principles, this book empowers you to pool resources, build shared institutions, and invest collectively in your community’s future. With actionable strategies, real-world examples, and step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to start cooperative businesses, credit unions, and investment groups—all aimed at building self-sufficient, thriving communities. This is not theory; it is a call to action for practical, collective empowerment.

Don’t stay trapped in cycles that don’t serve you or your community.
