Dear John,

For me, our work at United for a Fair Economy is personal — being an immigrant, a Latina, and a person who came to the US thirty years ago to escape violence in El Salvador that was being supported by US intervention. To be honest, it has been a hard year. Dealing with increased anti-immigrant sentiment from the administration and feeling heartbroken about the stories at the border — like that of the father and his child from El Salvador who drowned in the river trying to reach a better life in the US — it has been a challenge for me.

However, I haven’t felt alone. Being part of this organization, I have found community and benefited from UFE’s work that cultivates healing and connection.

When it comes to solving the systemic issues contributing to economic inequality and the racial wealth divide, it's going to take all of us.

With you, I am finding hope and taking inspiration. Why? Because I know that transformation is possible. Together, we can bring much-needed support — and so much more — to communities across the country fighting for a fair economy in 2020.

Among the many things your gift will make possible in 2020:

• More than 30 sustained partnerships, providing customized popular economics curricula and support for organizations that are mobilizing people today to change the rules that are stacked against us.
• Our State of the Dream 2020 report, which will put a spotlight on pressing issues of gender, race and inequality.
• Our Spring Training of Trainers in Minneapolis, growing UFE’s impact in the Midwest.
• Language justice, woven into everything we do. When we create multilingual spaces to learn and grow together, we are uplifting community leadership across language.

As you reflect back on everything that has happened in 2019, what is making you angry? Where are you finding hope? What has helped you believe that transformation is possible? Be a part of the change we can make together and please give generously to United for a Fair Economy today!

En la lucha,

Jeannette Huezo
Executive Director
