Mission

Just Economics of Western North Carolina (JE) is a grassroots, community organization based in Asheville. We educate, advocate, and organize for equitable economic conditions, increased union representation, and a fair share for all in the prosperity of our region, regardless of race, gender, or citizenship status.

Together, our members are working to shape the economic development of Western North Carolina in a way that benefits everyone and promotes a sustainable future. We aim to have a membership that reflects the diversity of our community, with an intentional focus on leadership from those most affected by the economic injustices we seek to change—low-wage workers.
