Ujima Neighborhood Economics Study Group
We are excited that the Ujima Neighborhood Economics Study Group is underway, continuing to explore the feasibility of projects that address our community-wide needs. The group will meet every second Wednesday, and the next meeting is Wednesday, July 14, 2021. This study group is co-coordinated by Ujima members and staff. Some participants will focus on a specific area of study and some writ-large. The group will build on the learnings from the exploration that Ujima members have already done and will carry this research forward to get even closer to implementation and investment in projects that meet our needs.
The topics include:
Community Land Trust
Community-Owned Internet
Community Owned Energy
Urban Farming
Creative Economic Placemaking (Black Market)
Community Space
Arts/Cultural Organizing Space
Childcare
There is also space for members to coordinate study groups on additional topics of interest. Please email cierra@ujimaboston.com if you are interested in getting involved or want more information!
