The Growing Economic Divide:   Which Side Are You On? with    Steve Schnapp, Education Coordinator, United for a Fair Economy Steve Schnapp has nearly 40 years experience as a community-based organizer, educator, and activist in New York City and the Greater Boston areas. United for a Fair Economy designs and leads "popular education" workshops on economic justice issues across the U.S. and Canada.

Many people feel stressed by the current economic climate in America - high unemployment, housing foreclosures, rising cost of health care, and cutbacks in public services. Our program uses role play and a number of "popular education" techniques to explore the roots and consequences of the economic divide in America and how we can be engaged in promoting greater economic equality.
