Financial Feminism

Be it how we each acquire, invest, spend or share money, our choices directly impact economic ecosystems and power paradigms with local, regional and global implications. In simpler terms, ever $1 that passes through our care is a vote for or against the world we want to be part of. Waking up to this reality and taking responsibility for figuring out how to financially function in a manner that aligns with our personal values is a journey unique to each of us, including those of us who chose to deny accountability.

Some thought-provoking questions to as ourselves include:

• What financial resources and knowledge do we truly need to live happy and healthy lives?

• How are those resources and skills being made available, and to whom? Is anyone being hurt in the process, if so how and why?

• Can I meet my needs without perpetuating exploitative and oppressive practices, if so how?

• Who else is thinking / acting around this topic and is there a way to support and learn from one another?

Our priority projects include:

• promoting financial feminism and sharing resources

• boycotting businesses (such as Amazon, Home Depot, Spotify and Target) that support the active suppression of social justice and economic equity

• hosting learning circle gatherings (online and in person) that focus on timely topics impacting community health

• advising on how to strategically incorporate key elements of financial feminism into our individual and professional practices

• completing The Next Economy MBA program led by LIFT Economy

• moderating the Financial Feminists MeetUp group
