Classified How to Stop Hiding Your Privilege and Use It for Social Change!

An illustrated how-to guide for young people with both money and progressive politics. The fight for economic justice can draw stark battle lines, with the fight portrayed simplistically as Us versus Them, with the rich in the role of Them. So where does that leave young people with wealth who believe in social change? Afraid of being branded the enemy, yet deeply committed to social justice, they're left in a confusing no-man's land. Complete with comics, exercises and personal stories, Classified gives readers the tools they need to encourage social change.
