Families United for Racial and Economic Equality
New York City
FUREE is a Brooklyn-based, multi-racial organization made up almost exclusively of women of color. FUREE organizes low-income families to build power to change the system so that all people’s work is valued and all people have the right and economic means to decide and live out their own destinies. FUREE uses direct action, leadership development, community organizing and political education to win the changes our members seek. FUREE’s guiding principle is that those directly affected by the policies they are seeking to change should lead the organization.
