When you give to United for a New Economy, you’re investing in a future where families don’t have to think about their housing every day. Where parents don’t have to constantly check their front doors for unjust eviction notices. Where kids can put their backpack down on the same floor every time they come home from school. When you donate to United for a New Economy, you’re helping create stability and safety for communities across our state.
UNE Member Ms. Willa Shelton discusses her leadership journey, her struggles, and her next steps in the wake of attending a week-long leadership conference. Here at United for a New Economy, we are committed to building a base of exceptional community leaders to help us take on greedy corporations and the wealthy few.
United for a New Economy envisions vibrant, strong communities with the power to build an economic, political and social system where human lives are valued over profit and our common humanity triumphs over those that try to divide us by race and class.
“Hearing renters share their stories about high cost of rents, living conditions, and fear of retaliation made me feel less alone and validated that I’m not the only one experiencing these issues. And I’m committed to continuing to knock on renters’ doors to hear their experience and challenges that they face within my community.” - Christina Moreno, UNE Member
“Things weren’t being fixed in our apartment complex. UNE explained our current policy options and helped us write an ordinance that filled the gaps and addressed our issue.” - Rosa Acosta, UNE Member and Commerce City resident.
"UNE's strength is its ability to be a bridge and build relationships between union and community partners, looking long term at economic trends and opportunities in Denver Metro, marrying organizing and policy through strategic campaigns."
- Leslie Moody, Partnership for Working Families
"UNE has helped my organization to understand the politics and policy process, to research, report, and ultimately advocate for change."
- Melinda Pollack, Enterprise Community Partners
