#UjimaWednesdays

Every week on Wednesday, starting at 6:00PM EST.

We hold financial and political education workshops every Wednesday that are open to the public, where community members come together to co-learn and then later co-create at our member team meetings. Watch all past events on our Youtube.

Power, Transformation, and Miracles:
Ujima Power Project

Power exists in many forms: the power to, the power with, the power over, and the power within. Power holds the potential to transform, uplift, and dismantle. It is the ability to act, influence, and create change. Yet, the potential of power and its capacity to drive transformation are complex, often accompanied by contradictions and challenges. The 2025 Ujima Wednesdays Workshop Series theme: Power, Transformation, and Miracles: Ujima Power Project and the programs dedicated to it explore the tension and nuances that power inspires, posing questions about the metaphorical, political, and social dimensions of power. Power, Transformation, and Miracles: Ujima Power Project examines power as a concept with concrete, material consequences. This workshop series is dedicated to exploring the collective power of communities to transform ourselves and the systems that shape our lives. How is power enacted and performed across histories and institutions? Who holds power, and who resists or rejects its use? How do we reclaim, redistribute, or shift power, and is it ever enough? Can power bring us closer to justice, to liberation, to a more equitable society? How do we learn through power? What are we empowering, and by what measures? When does a shift in power lead to true transformation, to revolution? Understanding these types of power —and the pillars of support that sustain existing systems— can help us become weapons of mass construction. The 2025 Ujima Wednesdays Workshop Series invites participants to explore the contradictions of power, making space not only to consider existing power structures and systems but also to challenge our relationship with and responsibility toward power. Drawing inspiration from global anti-colonial, and revolutionary resistance movements, we’ll explore how communities can organize to build political and financial power, advance transformative policies, and create miracles rooted in love, justice and collective liberation.

Member Teams

Our member teams occur on a monthly, rotating schedule.

The Ujima Member Teams are a self-organized, non-hierarchical group of community members that work to strengthen Ujima’s participatory governance structure, community relations and help the wider public learn about and enroll in Ujima, solidarity economy, and economic democracy.
