(Program Director, United for a Fair Economy)

~bio:
In 1999, Fast Company magazine recognized Collins "one of 17 leaders, doers,
and change makers." In 2001, Boston Magazine named Collins in its annual list
of the hundred most influential people in Boston. Chuck Collins is the co-
founder and Program Director of United for a Fair Economy (UFE). Founded in
1995, UFE is a national non-partisan organization that draws attention to the
dangerous consequences of growing income and wealth inequality in the US and
inspires action to reduce economic inequality. Journalist John Nichols
said "United for Fair Economy is the single most effective group in the
country when it comes to publicizing issues of economic injustice, income
disparity, the racial underpinnings of the gap between rich and poor,
and . . . the yawning chasm between the salaries of corporate CEOs and those
of working Americans." UFE's programs and strategies include: popular
economics education, legislative campaigns, research and media work and
creative direct action organizing. In 1997, he co-founded Responsible Wealth,
a project of United for a Fair Economy, to bring together business leaders and
investors to publicly speak out against economic policies and corporate
practices that worsen economic inequality. Recently, he coordinated the Call
to Preserve the Estate Tax.
