Dear United for a Fair Economy community, 



As spring begins to bloom, we are excited to share with you some updates about our new, continued and emerging work for economic and racial justice across the country. Through supporting grassroots leaders and providing organizing training, we are ensuring that those most impacted by inequality and injustice are leading the work for systemic change and movement building. Thank you for being part of our community, supporting our work and joining us in working for a fair and inclusive economy for all. 



In solidarity, the UFE team



UFE is building grassroots leadership in Alabama: 







We are excited to share that we have launched a new project in Alabama: The Grassroots Organizing School of Alabama! GOSA is bringing UFE’s popular economics education toolkit — custom curricula on economic inequality and racial injustice, facilitation skills, healing for liberation practices, and language justice tools — to Alabama to develop a strong group of organizers that are ready to be activated. Our intent with GOSA is to resource projects – especially projects to build Black and Brown solidarity, and to advance worker rights and fair pay – with organizers who have the analysis and skills to hit the ground running. Read more about GOSA on our blog!
