The Social Justice Investor: Advance Your Values While Building Wealth, Whether a Few Dollars or Millions - Paperback

Whether you have $100 or $100 million in your bank account, you have the power to change the world for the better.

Having lived through recessions and pandemics, we all recognize the importance of financial well-being. But we are also living in a time of uncertainty, marked by injustice, climate crisis, and social change. How do we reconcile these two things--our financial well-being and our desire to advocate for a more just and equitable world? Perhaps you already donate to causes you care about, or you're looking to start, but the world of finance and investment feels intimidating, especially if you've never invested before. You know that money isn't the silver bullet to social injustice and economic exclusion, but it certainly can help!

While our investments should bring returns that meet our needs for expected and unexpected life events, our investments can also be a powerful extension of our values, intentions, and commitments: we can invest in what we care about. The Social Justice Investor is ready to help you put your money where your values are. This step-by-step guide to personal finance removes all the technical jargon and introduces you to the basic building blocks of investment management. Once you have your ""toolkit,"" The Social Justice Investor walks you through how to apply a social justice lens to your investments (including how to talk to your financial advisor). You'll learn to select investments that match your stated objectives, allocate your resources widely and wisely, and measure your success. We can help change the world for the better, and it starts with where we decide to put our money.
