If you’ve been taught that the world of finance is too complex for your feeble mind to grasp, you’re not alone. And honestly, it’s been constructed to be intentionally exclusionary and mysterious. The Financial Activist Playbook is a one-of-a-kind book written to demystify the financial system and pull back the curtain on the wizards behind the scenes.
Financial activism is described as shifting the flow of money and power to solve social and environmental problems.
Jasmine says it's “the antidote to a financial system that’s inaccessible, convoluted, and inequality-producing by design. For many of us, discussion of the financial system evokes confusion, frustration, anxiety, and, in the best-case scenario, straight-up boredom.”
This book is an easy-to-understand, digestible, and often funny resource for the average person to learn money-moving strategies such as:
- How to leverage endowments, retirement, and pension funds to sustainably invest in Black and Brown communities
- How to build economic people power through structures like worker-owned cooperatives
- How to vote with your dollars and create “people budgets”
- And more
If I lost you at the start of that list, don’t worry. The Financial Activist Playbook breaks down all of these strategies so that even the most financially inept person can use them with confidence.
