United to End Racism (UER) is an offshoot of Re-evaluation Counseling (RC) 1, whose publicly stated aims are "to illuminate the damage done to individuals by racism and to undo this damage on an individual basis, using the resources and process of Re-evaluation Counseling." 2

UER was founded by RC on 28 November 2000. Since then, it has attended international NGO and left-leaning political conferences such as the 2001 Durban World Conference against Racism and more recently the World Social Forum in Caracas, the World Peace Forum 2006 in Vancouver (where the organisation labelled itself "Healing from War, Working for Peace") and the White Privilege Conference 2006 in Pella, Iowa 3.

United to End Racism is sometimes regarded as a "Front organization" for RC, whose founder Harvey Jackins may have learned "fronting" techniques from his (early) involvement with Dianetics in the 1950s. His son Tim Jackins, the current world leader of RC is also the de-facto leader of UER. The organisation appears solely to exist to service activist conferences as an invited body, and only sporadically carries out other activities. It is managed from Personal Counselors, the office of RC in Seattle.
