- United for a Fair Economy (UFE) is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit Boston, Massachusetts-based movement support organization that highlights the detriments of uneven wealth distribution. Co-founded by Chuck Collins and Felice Yeskel in 1995, it describes itself as "raising awareness that concentrated wealth and power undermine the economy, corrupts democracy, deepens the racial divide, and tears communities apart...supporting and helping build social movements for greater equality." Its current executive director is Jeanette Huezo. Its missions, actions, and goals include:
* Fair Taxation - Working for fair and progressive taxes at state and federal levels, including efforts to preserve and strengthen the Estate Tax
* Racial Wealth Divide - Working to raise awareness about the historical and contemporary barriers to upward economic mobility among people of color, and to promote a policy agenda addressing their root causes
* Responsible Wealth - A network of over 700 business leaders and wealthy individuals in the top 5% of the wealth and/or income in the US who advocate for fair taxes and corporate accountability
* Popular Economics Education - Using Popular Education workshops and techniques to transform dry economic issues into valuable knowledge, UFE's workshops enable participants to relate to the material, empower them to take political action, and encourage them to build movements for social and economic justice in their communities.
* Shareholder Activism - Raising awareness about the need for corporations to consider the needs of stakeholders beyond those in the boardroom
* CEO Pay - Addressing the lack of pay equity by changing the rules
* Humane Immigration Reform - Working to reveal the push-and-pull factors leading to migration into the U.S., and to elevate a plan for humane immigration reform as part of broader labor and international trade policy reforms (en)
