The Ubele Initiative

An Emergency Community Conversation will be held on Monday 12th August 2024 from 6.30pm to 8pm on Zoom. In 2020, The Ubele Initiative launched the hashtag #WeNeedAnswers campaign, demanding accountability and action in the face of systemic injustices. Today, we find ourselves in a similar situation and once again, we need answers. To address the current crisis, we have convened an ‘Emergency community conversation’. The purpose of this conversation is to bring together groups and individuals from across the country to understand the current situation, assess the response, identify community needs, and put forward demands. 👉 JOIN THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATION ONLINE You are invited to join our online community conversation on Monday 12th August is below. The Zoom link for this emergency community conversation will be sent out privately on the morning of the event.

Vacancies Available - Black Rootz Champions The Black Rootz Champion roles have been created in recognition that we need greater capacity, new skills and more experience to move forward. Champions will bring additional capacity to functional areas across Black Rootz as well as strategic capacity to the project. Each Champion will have a different focus but what will be common across the roles is: − Responsibility within a specific functional area of Black Rootz activities, either working with members of the Black Rootz team or taking on some responsibilities directly − Participation in meetings and work supporting the strategic development and long-term sustainability of Black Rootz. The first 12-months as a Champion is likely to be focussed on securing the foundations of Black Rootz. This will involve understanding the current ways of working that exist within the project, collaborating with the team to develop more efficient systems, processes and practices, inputting into effective approaches to our work, and beginning to connect the long-term sustainability of the project with the activities being delivered now. We are looking for up to 5 people to join this pioneering group of Back Rootz Champions. This is a new approach. We aim to be flexible and experimental, but each Champion will have a specialism across one or more functional areas, be a confident self-manager and be comfortable contributing to the project from a position of leadership. This is the first time Black Rootz will be hiring to these roles and we are excited by the prospect of having extra support and guidance as we enter a new phase of our growth. Our first set of Champions will also be excited by the prospect of positive change for Black Rootz and comfortable navigating the uncertainty that comes with establishing this new way of working. Commitment to the vision and mission of Black Rootz is essential. These are volunteer roles and the minimum time commitment is 2 days per month.
