Collective Diaspora is a membership-based organization of Black cooperatives and Black-led cooperative support organizations from across the African diaspora.

We are weaving together a transnational Black cooperative support system to challenge the economic isolation faced by Black communities and the extraction of Black wealth that has been taking place in different forms since the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

By deepening our connections and sharing resources, we make our cooperatives and organizations, and in turn our communities, stronger and more resilient.
