What steps can we take toward achieving a fairer economy where we can all thrive? How can we foster the conditions necessary for economic justice work to emerge and be impactful? We use our Strategic Plan to understand where we want to go and how we plan to get there.

We are in Strategic Planning throughout 2025

In the fall of 2024 — UFE's 30th year! — we began a new round of strategic planning. We are dreaming big to update our vision and strategies for impactful economic justice movement building. As ever, the plan will be developed around our unique contribution to change-making: popular education that develops critical thinking about the economy as a cornerstone of leadership development and movement building. This process will continue into 2026. Justice Williams, skilled facilitator and frequent UFE collaborator, is coordinating the process.

UFE's staff and Board of Directors launched Strategic Planning in October 2024. The participants shown include Jeannette Huezo, Executive Director and Senior Popular Educator (first row, 3rd from left), Elizabeth Pellerito, Co-Director of the Board (first row, 4th from left), and Justice Williams, Strategic Planning Consultant (second row, 2nd from right).
