Join 319 Ujima members voting on the Ujima Fund's first investment opportunity. 

We've raised $1.3 million through collective action. We've elected a Community Standards Committee and voted to pass 36 standards to manifest economic justice in our communities. Now It's time to make the first vote on an investment opportunity: a loan in the amount of $100,000 to CERO Cooperative, a worker-owned, Dorchester-based commercial composting company.
