ALL OF THE THREATENED & DELICIOUS THINGS JOINING ONE ANOTHER
UJIMA'S FALL 2022 ASSEMBLY
OCTOBER 5-26, 2022
Everyone has a voice.
People work together to take care of each other.
And communities have the final say over the development that impacts their streets and their families.
We believe that change won’t happen if we continue to work in silos. The challenges facing our communities — gentrification, poverty, homelessness, lack of food access, unemployment, and lack of healthcare — are all interconnected. We need a solution that is equally complex. Explore our ecosystem of innovative strategies for transformation.
