Description:

The Social Justice Investor is a step-by-step guide to personal finance for those interested in building wealth while also aligning their finance decisions with their values, intentions, and commitments to social justice. Whether you have $100 or $100 million in the bank, you have the power to change the world for the better. 

Longton 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.

Andrea Longton is joining us on the Busboys stage to share her knowledge about how to use your finances to be the change you want to see in the world. Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Longton will be signing following the program.

This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of THE SOCIAL JUSTICE INVESTOR will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is in person and will not be livestreamed.


We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books
