4/12 Global Day of Action on Military Spending

The Global Day of Action on Military Spending is a day to call attention to how money is invested in the military equipment and war rather an investing in Americans.

"By the most conservative estimates, global military spending reached $1.6 trillion in 2010. Tell your leaders: it’s time to invest in people again."

Start Celebrating Ten Years of Building FUREEous Power

The Board of Directors of Families United for Racial & Economic Equality (FUREE) will present a WINE TASTING to begin the celebration of our 10th year of building leaders and mobilizing communities to win racial, gender and economic justice.

Meet Board Members, Leaders, Staff and other Allies to hear about our recent win for accountable development in Downtown Brooklyn, the launching of two new campaigns centered on worker justice for youth and public housing residents and an update on our member-led campaigns to win more low income housing, sustainable jobs and access to healthy, affordable food in Brooklyn communities.

It’s also an opportunity to roll up your sleeves and get involved in our work by engaging directly in our campaigns and helping to sustain FUREE’s work for another ten years!

This event is hosted by The Moore Brothers Wine Company. Hors d ‘oeuvres will be served and all proceeds from this event will directly benefit the mission and activities of FUREE!

Calling all artists!
