United for a Fair Economy is a national, independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that 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. UFE's major program areas are General Education (income & wealth inequality), Fair Taxation, Bridging the Racial Wealth Divide, and Responsible Wealth (which adds the voice of business leaders and affluent individuals for corporate accountability. Each area draws on our popular education methods, innovative messaging research, and media capacity in its work. United for a Fair Economy was founded as a “movement support” organization to provide media capacity, face-to-face economic literacy education, and training resources to organizations and individuals who work to address the widening income and asset gap in our country. Our work is grounded in the belief that our country would be far more democratic, prosperous, and caring if we narrowed the vast gap between the very wealthy and everyone else. Our constituency is broad and deep and includes both those directly hurt by economic disparity and those who benefit from it. 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 that do not have dramatic 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 the contradictions between “labor” and “capital” are mitigated — where everyone contributes to society with their labor and everyone benefits from society’s financial growth. We envision a society in which social values, not profits alone, guide economic decisions.
