If you are reading UFE's blog, you are probably seeking meaningful ways to take action against the rising tide of authoritarianism. 

People reach out to UFE for political education and skill-building, to bring art and culture and healing into their work, and to learn how to mobilize communities across language.

With our fiscal year coming to an end, we are reaching out to you because we need your help.

This is movement infrastructure.

This is your impact. 

Earlier this month, Ana Delia Espino, UFE’s Director of Inclusive Economies – South, moderated a powerful Spanish-language webinar uplifting a local movement for automatic voter registration in Alabama. What might seem like a simple policy proposal is part of a much deeper story — one rooted in the long and ongoing struggle for civil rights and the full inclusion of immigrant and marginalized voices in our democracy.

We are excited to announce Gretchen Wang and Daniel Willis as our Summer 2025 interns. Gretchen and Daniel join us from the Social Justice strand of Brandeis University's World of Work (WOW) internship program.

They will be gathering data for a round of updates to UFE's Popular Economics Education workshops, and writing blogs to share UFE's impactful program work. Please join us in welcoming them!
