A UFE workshop led by Jeannette Huezo at a conference sponsored by the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) in Houston, TX. This workshop engages participants in sharing personal stories of their family or ancestors emigrating to the US, explores the history of the "push" and "pull" events, trends, policies, and laws that drive workers and families from their homeland, and identifies strategies to bring immigrant and native-born workers and communities together in a movement for economic justice.
Originally an audio CD, The BBs of Wealth was created by UFE co-founder Chuck Collins to illustrate the difference between riches and poverty. Collins provides the voice-over in this new video version by UFE intern Matthew Chana featuring college students' reactions.
UFE is one of the few national organizations that trains and supports a
network of volunteer economics educators. We now have over 180 active
volunteer trainers nationwide. These trained workshop leaders conduct programs on the changing economy
across the country. UFE holds Training of Trainers Institutes several
times a year.

The goal of UFE's Training of Trainer (TOT) Institutes is to strengthen organizations and their capacity to build the base of an economic justice movement. In April, we will conduct the first of three TOT Institutes.

We believe that economics education needs to reach thousands of people in religious congregations, unions, neighborhood groups and business associations.
We've got a special knack for transforming dry economic statistics into memorable learning experiences that connect with people's lives and lead to action. To multiply our efforts, UFE also trains and supports a national network of volunteer workshop leaders.
UFE helps support economic justice efforts around the country with tools for groups and individuals. We encourage everyone to get involved and take action to the best of their abilities.
