Kwanzaa Ujamaa- Cooperative Economics

Celebrate & explore cooperative economics with PACA at Plant and People!
Join us as we uplift the legacy and living practice of cooperation in our communities. Learn about Philadelphia’s Cooperative Ecosystem, PACA’s offerings, and connect with other cooperators and coop-curious community members. You’re invited to dive into local business resources and discover PACA’s free workshops, technical assistance, and membership benefits.

What is Ujamaa?
Ujamaa, the 4th principle of Kwanzaa, means cooperative economics. It calls us to build and maintain our own stores, shops, and businesses—and to share the profit, responsibility, and benefits together. This is cooperative economics rooted in shared resources, mutual responsibility, and collective growth. When we invest in each other, circulate our dollars with intention, and build structures that hold all of us, we expand our power and strengthen our communities.

We are offering free admission (donations appreciated), fresh refreshments, and celebratory vibes.

Let us gather, honor our growth, and continue building the world our communities deserve.
