Latest Updates on ‘Wallet Activism’: Pre-order Bonuses and Event Information
I’ve been relatively quiet here lately, and for good reason. I’ve been diligently working on two major initiatives and I’m thrilled to finally unveil them. It’s time to dive deep into my latest endeavor, ‘Wallet Activism,’ which I am introducing as both a book and a podcast.
Understanding Wallet Activism
So, what exactly is "wallet activism"? Why is it essential, and what are the perks of pre-ordering ‘Wallet Activism’? Read on for all the details.
Update: You can find the most current event and preorder bonus information here.
The Genesis of ‘Wallet Activism’
After eliminating my debt in my late 20s, I aimed to use my money more intentionally. Despite my efforts, I consistently found myself inadvertently supporting practices that clashed with my principles, such as increased fossil fuel extraction and worker exploitation. Frustrated with the lack of practical guidance and the inaction from political leaders regarding climate change and inequality, I realized we couldn’t solely rely on policymakers.
Prompted by a friend, I pondered the book I wished existed but didn’t. Despite initial doubts about its feasibility, I embarked on crafting ‘Wallet Activism,’ a guide addressing complex economic issues with social and environmental justice at its core. After nearly two years, hundreds of citations, and nearly 100,000 words, ‘Wallet Activism’ has transformed from a concept into a tangible resource.
What Is Wallet Activism?
Wallet activism is about leveraging your financial power to alter the status quo. It’s a commitment to use every dollar you spend, earn, and save as a force for change—urgent changes needed for crises like climate change and inequality. Through ‘Wallet Activism,’ I introduce a comprehensive shift from being mere consumers to being conscious participants in the economy, equipped with actionable tools and an in-depth understanding of how your financial choices affect others and the planet.
‘Wallet Activism’: The Book and Podcast
‘Wallet Activism’ is set to release as a paperback, e-book, and audiobook (narrated by myself) on November 16. The audiobook and e-book pre-orders will be announced shortly, complementing the currently available paperback version. Pre-ordering comes with exclusive bonuses, which I’ll outline below.
Why Your Support Matters
While initially publishers were skeptical about the market for a book challenging the status quo, the changing climate around social change has opened new doors. Your support not only helps bring this book to more readers but also signals to publishers the demand for content that drives meaningful change.
Exclusive Pre-Order Perks
Pre-ordering ‘Wallet Activism’ is more than just obtaining a copy; it’s about supporting a movement. Here are the incentives designed to reward early supporters:
- Pre-Order 1 Copy: Receive a downloadable PDF of credible certifications for informed shopping.
- Pre-Order 2 Copies: Gain access to the Take Action pack, featuring impactful resources including templates for advocacy and constructive dialogues on wallet activism.
- Pre-Order 3+ Copies: In addition to the above, receive a comprehensive book club discussion guide to deepen the conversation.
All pre-orders, whether for paperback, audiobook, or e-book (once available), qualify for these bonuses. The pre-order window remains open until 11:59 PM local time on November 15, 2021.
Additionally, I’m organizing virtual meetups as a personal thank you, where we can discuss the book, wallet activism, or topics of your choice. Details on how to claim your bonuses and enter the meetups are available on the pre-order page.
