Stories of the Land Cooperative

Lathram comes from people who have been in the Southeast for many generations, some longer than others (Irish, Maskoke, Scottish). Today, she calls both the lands layered with limestone (Tennessee) and the pine forests with thick red dirt (Alabama) home and is practicing being a visitor every day. She is a young person born into an owning-class family, who believes that all of our lives - past, present, and future - depend on each of us being intimate with what is enough and stopping the processes of accumulation and hoarding. She helps other young people develop frameworks of enoughness as a member leader of Resource Generation. Alongside the practice of new/old economies, she is especially committed to ancestral reckoning, healing, and memory; reconnection to the land; and truth-telling as tools for collective repair and liberation. With friends, she co-facilitates workshops that help us be in those questions through their worker-owned organization, Stories of the Land Cooperative.
