Dear John,

Like many of you, I am working from home because of COVID-19. Although I’m not leaving my house, as I look through my social media, as I watch videos of the recent Black Lives Matter marches, and read news articles, I see familiar faces everywhere and I’m celebrating the amazing organizing happening across the country.

Grassroots leaders who have attended our training of trainers in the past are organizing and speaking at the protests, including in Minneapolis and Boston.

Check out this beautiful video of the Black Visions Collective #DefundMPD March in Minneapolis that UFE staff and board watched together. Several participants in past UFE trainings were involved in this protest.

Organizations like Center for Cooperative Development and Solidarity - CCDS in East Boston that are long term UFE partners are supporting the undocumented community that have lost their jobs from the pandemic.

Immigrant justice organizations in the greater Boston area are also turning to UFE to facilitate conversations about the history of systematic racism in the US to build Black and Brown solidarity.

In the streets, on Zoom meetings, at community meetings and in neighborhoods, the network of organizers UFE has trained and supported are leading the way by envisioning a world without police, without prisons, without borders, without white supremacy, facism and capitalism.

United for a Fair Economy multiplies the impact of community leaders and cultivates the growth of organizers most impacted by injustice – low wage workers, immigrants, people of color, women and LGBTQ folks – to lead movements for justice and liberation.

For 25 years, we have been multiplying the power of the movement for economic, racial and intersectional justice through our popular education trainings, by building coalitions working for fair policies, organizing wealthy people to speak out for tax justice, and through our powerful communications such as the State of the Dream report about the racial wealth divide. Our work is urgently needed to address the structural inequality and racism that is deeply ingrained in our society.

Multiply your gift for justice TODAY and help us multiply our impact. Give before June 30th and help us meet our goal for our fiscal year. Your support multiplies people power.

With solidarity,

Jeannette Huezo
