The Publications Member Team supports the creation of digital and print media that tell new stories about how power is created and shared through culture, full participation, and economic democracy. Our approach to publishing materializes as a commitment to making liberatory thought engaging and accessible. Ujima Press serves as one of several entry points for the broader public to discover and participate in the solidarity economy and economic democracy. Through collaborative processes, this member team provides a platform for members and our wider communities to hone their editorial and design skills to develop programming, books, zines and printed matter for Ujima Press.
