Watch Ujima staff and members in a dynamic conversation on the nature of power - its possibilities, its pitfalls, and its role in shaping our collective future. Is power inherently good, bad, or neutral? What happens when individuals and communities wield their power? Together, we explored how people's power can be harnessed to move us toward a more just society and examine the power our communities already hold. Moderated by Rei Fielder, Director of Coalitions, Policy and Grassroots Organizing, this discussion invites deep reflection, principled struggle, and a vision for transformative change.

Building on our conversation about power, this interactive workshop - facilitated by Mimi Ramos from the New England Community Project broke down how power operates within the pillars of support that uphold systems of oppression and change. We explored different types of power, how institutions maintain control, and how communities can strategically challenge and shift power dynamics.
