United for a Fair Economy

Who We Are

United for a Fair Economy (UFE) is dedicated to advancing economic justice by challenging the concentration of wealth and power that perpetuates inequality. Founded to address racial and economic disparities, UFE believes systemic change is necessary for a fairer society. Our team, passionate about equity and social justice, works tirelessly to create a more balanced economy where everyone can thrive.

As a small but mighty organization of 13 dedicated professionals, we punch above our weight in the fight for economic fairness. We believe that those who do the work of building a more equitable society deserve to experience that equity in their own lives—which is why we walk the talk when it comes to progressive workplace policies.

What We Do

At UFE, we focus on policy advocacy, community organizing, and public education to promote progressive tax reform and economic policies that benefit marginalized communities. We support and coordinate the Tax Fairness Organizing Collaborative (TFOC), a network of state-level groups advocating for fair tax policies across the United States.

Our work addresses the root causes of economic inequality by:

• Advocating for progressive tax policies that ensure the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share
• Building grassroots power through community organizing and coalition building
• Educating the public about the connections between wealth concentration, racial injustice, and economic inequality
• Supporting state-level campaigns that advance tax fairness and economic justice

We also engage in innovative campaigns, such as the 4-day workweek initiative, to improve work-life balance and enhance the well-being of our staff and the communities we serve. By modeling progressive workplace practices, we demonstrate that valuing people over profit isn't just possible—it's essential for sustainable social change.

Working at United for a Fair Economy

Our work environment is rooted in equity, balance, and community values. We prioritize the well-being of our staff by implementing policies such as the 4-day workweek, reflecting our commitment to work-life balance and mental health. UFE fosters a collaborative and supportive atmosphere where team members can grow professionally and personally while contributing to meaningful social change.

We recognize that doing justice work requires stamina, clarity, and resilience. That's why we've intentionally created a workplace culture that prevents burnout and promotes sustainable activism. Our team members bring their whole selves to work, knowing they'll have the time and space to recharge and maintain the personal lives that fuel their passion for justice.

We believe that a healthy, motivated team is essential for our impactful work. When you join UFE, you're not just getting a job—you're joining a community of dedicated changemakers who support each other in the long-term work of building economic justice.
