Immigration
NEW: Immigration and the Economy
by bob ()There is a growing clamor about our immigration "problem." But what are the facts about immigration? What is pushing and pulling workers and families to leave their homeland and emigrate to the U.S.? Who benefits from rules that allow in some workers and criminalize others? What do foreign-born and domestic workers have in common? How can we evaluate proposed immigration "reforms"? This latest addition to UFE's lineup of popular economics education workshops provides information, analysis, and strategies for action to close the political and social divides that pit workers and communities against each other. In Spanish and English. Request a workshop, or email questions to our training coordinator: training@faireconomy.org.
Immigrant Rights and Economic Inequality
by bob ()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.
Emigration, Immigration, and Displacement
by Jonathan ()Emigration, Immigration, and Displacement
Neoliberal globalization has resulted in the displacement of millions of workers and small farmers. Many neoliberal economies refuse to recognize that free trade policies cause many of the world's current immigration and emigration struggles. This blind eye only intensifies the lack of progress in solving these problems both in industrialized nations and in countries where people are forced to migrate.
Global Economic Justice

UFE's mission is to support social movements that work to change the "rules" and mechanisms behind economic injustice and gross wealth inequality in the U.S. To achieve this, we provide analysis, information, and educational resources around critical domestic economic justice issues.

- Wealth
Our Racial Wealth Divide program spotlights the persistence and recent growth of racial economic disparities. It helps educate people that wealth is even more important than income in achieving parity among the races. And it works on shifting public consciousness about the real reasons for the gap: policies that tilt the rules in favor of whites.
