Tools for Action
UFE helps support economic justice efforts around the country with tools for groups and individuals. We encourage everyone to get involved and take action to the best of their abilities.
NEW! Action Tool for Evaluating Candidates on Taxes - Trying to figure out how much a candidate's proposals fit with your
values can be challenging. That's why we developed a valuable action tool to help you evaluate the fairness of tax proposals.
The Action Tool
contains key progressive tax principles and sample questions to use
when researching candidates' positions and for asking candidates
directly. Using the Action Tool could influence candidates' positions
and increase public support for fair taxation.
