Thank you for your support.
Jamii is an impact-driven team that partners with mission-driven organizations to co-create impactful multilingual spaces based on principles of language justice and multilingual community building. We do this by supporting organizations working in social justice movements for LGBTQIA+ and immigrant rights, racial, economic and environmental justice, anti-violence, gender and educational equity, healthcare, and more!
We're a people-first, mission-second, and profit-third kind of organization working to grow an equitable solidarity economy for language workers. A central focus of our work includes promoting language learning in Black-centered spaces. We also prioritize bridging language barriers between Black US-born folx, Afro-Latines, Africans, Afro-Caribbeans, and other people of African descent via our flagship programs, Language & Diaspora and the Simultaneous Interpreting Clinic.
Our mission is to shift the "one-language-fits-all" approach to building movements for social justice while centering the needs of people of African descent.
Our big vision is to create a multilingual, transnational community of Black, Pan-African and pro-Black people unified for collective liberation.
Our work is intentionally focused to create an impact in the following areas:
Transnational Black Solidarity
Multilingual Movement Building
Multilingual Education
Solidarity Economies & Cooperative Economics
