Frontline Arts Buffalo
Ujima is a founding member of Frontline Arts Buffalo also known as FAB. Established in 2018, the coalition seeks to support frontline arts and cultural organizations in Buffalo in our transition from conditions of precarity to viability. We are a collaboration among artists, arts administrators, engaged citizens, justice advocates, and policy researchers.

Crossroads Coalition
Ujima is an active and participating organization of the Crossroads Coalition. The coalition is comprised of over ten progressive organizations committed to a just transition and building a new, community-controlled economy in Buffalo. The collective includes activists, creators, grassroots educators, organizers, and researchers who realized that all of today’s major battles for justice are linked, and equally important.

Buffalo Public Schools
Ujima is partnered with Buffalo Public Schools’ Office of Culturally & Linguistically Responsive Initiatives to present the Lorna C. Hill Speaking Contest. Students from across the district compete locally at their respective schools in order to qualify for the final round of the contest which will is held annually at the Lorna C. Hill Theater. We are so excited to see the next generation of great orators and performers follow in the legacy of our late founder.
