Celebrating the Past. Funding the Future.

For 10 years, Ujima has been a culturally specific lifeline in the fight to end violence against Black women and girls, offering advocacy, healing, and hope in the face of domestic violence, sexual assault, and community violence.

Today, as federal funding shifts, the very services survivors depend on are at risk.

That’s why we’ve launched Celebrating the Past. Funding the Future. — a giving campaign to protect and sustain our vital work.

We cannot do it without you. Your gift ensures that Black women and girls are seen, supported, and safe, today and for generations to come.

Join us. The work continues.

✨ THE CELEBRATION: 10 years of serving Black women and girls facing domestic violence, sexual assault and community violence

🚨 THE REALITY: We've lost significant federal funding and need community support to continue

💪🏾 THE GOAL: 1,000 supporters giving $100 or $20/month = $100,000 in 30 days

We've been here, we're still here, and with your help we'll be here for years to come.
