Families United for Racial & Economic Equality

About Me

FUREE is a Brooklyn-based multi-racial organization that mobilizes low-income and working families to promote equality, improve economic conditions and build collective power to win exits from poverty. Primarily led by women of color with an emphasis on community and family, FUREE uses direct action, leadership development, community organizing and political education to achieve our vision and goals.Our growing membership base of more than 2,000 individuals design, build and lead campaigns that expose and fight institutionalized racism, sexism and classism. We understand that we will never create a society in which all people have the right and economic means to live their destinies until we eliminate the structures that perpetuate inequality based on race, class and gender.VISIT FUREE ON THE WEB: WWW.FUREE.ORG .. .. ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People, organizations and coalitions dedicated to building an intergenerational community base and platform on issues related to racism, sexism, classism, access to quality education, fair wages and better working conditions for workers, building the power of low-income families, preventing the displacement of families through gentrification, building youth power, increasing voter engagement, developing leaders from within disserved communities and promoting political education locally, regionally and nationally.
