Start Investing for Social Justice

The Social Justice Investor is the first guide for those who want to align their finance decisions with their commitments to social justice. Our retirement accounts, even our rainy-day savings accounts can be a powerful extension of our values, while still bringing returns that meet our needs for expected and unexpected life events. We can use our financial decisions to build an inclusive economy, bridge the racial wealth gap, combat climate change, defund private prisons, support LGBTQ+ friendly policies, and more. In this book, social justice investor Andrea Longton explores:

  • 401 (k) guidance

  • Savings and wealth building

About the Author

  • “As an Investment Advisor myself I’m recommending this book because far too often conversations about money revolve around potential risks and rewards for ourselves and our clients. One of the most eye-opening reasons to read Longton’s new book is to come away realizing: “Getting rich is not the only way to think about investing. And—wow! A growing number of people actually are doing this. They’re taking seriously their values of goodness, compassion, justice and a general concern for the world’s welfare in deciding where to put their money to work.” That certainly struck me as I read her book. I thought: I want to recommend this to people as a wonderful way to learn about other people trying to do this—and the nuts and bolts of how they’re actually doing it. The book is not only inspiring; it’s a “how to” manual as well."
