"The Co-op Wars" Film Screening at Lawrence Arts Center

  • Lawrence Arts Center 940 New Hampshire Street Lawrence, KS, 66044 United States (map)

Join us for a film screening of The Co-op Wars, a documentary exploring the political and economic organizing efforts of a passionate group of people building an alternative food economy in Minneapolis in the 1970s — the same moment our own co-op was forming.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for refreshments. Screening from 6:30 – 7:30 with panel discussion to follow.

As The Merc Co+op celebrates our 50th anniversary, we invite you to reflect on our collective and cooperative history. Examine the often conflicting viewpoints within social movements and counter-culture, and the challenges faced even between folks that are motivated by the same ends.

See a preview of the film.
