ABOUT UNITED FOR A FAIR ECONOMY

http://www.faireconomy.org/

UFE raises awareness that concentrated wealth and power undermine the economy, corrupt democracy, deepen the racial divide, and tear communities apart. We support and help build social movements for greater equality.
Vision

Our vision is of a global society where prosperity is better shared, where there is genuine equality of opportunity, where the power of concentrated money and corporations neither dominates the economy nor dictates the content of mass culture. We envision communities and nations without disparities of income, wages, wealth, health, safety, respect, and opportunities for recreation and personal growth.

We aspire to build communities that are socially and environmentally sustainable, where children are cherished and nurtured, and cultural and racial differences among people are valued and celebrated. We envision an economy where everyone contributes to society with their labor and everyone benefits from society's financial growth. We envision a society in which values, not profits alone, guide economic decisions.
Goals

Our goals are to close the growing wealth divide, to change the rules that tilt tax benefits increasingly toward the wealthy, to spotlight the role of race in economic inequality, and to serve as a forum where different races, different cultures, and people with varying degrees of wealth can come together to work for economic justice.
