Classified: How to Stop Hiding Your Privilege and Use It For Social Change
by Karen Pittelman and Resource Generation
with illustrations by Molly Hein
207 pages

The fight for economic justice can draw some stark battle lines.  It's often painted as an Us versus Them struggle, with the rich in the role of "Them," and everyone else cast as "Us."  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 wandering in a confusing no man's land.

This conflict can lead most young people with wealth to keep their privilege hidden-making it impossible for them to bring their resources, access and connections to the struggle for social change.

Classified is a guide for people with class privilege who are tired of cover-ups, who are ready to dig through the buried files and figure out how their privilege really works.  complete with comics, exercises and personal stories, Classified gives its readers the tools they need to stop hiding their privilege and instead put it to work.

"I love this book."
-William Upski Wimsatt, author of Bomb the Suburbs and No More Prisons

"I laughed out loud while reading Classified, at the quizzes, cartoons, and stories of human foibles.  And laughter is a powerful antidote to immobilizing guilt and shame, as well as oblivious entitlement."
-Betsy Leondar-Wright, author of Class Matters

"By acknowledging with respect the challenges of being a 'have' in a world of 'have-nots,' by making us giggle occasionally and by forcing us to face frankly the stereotypes of the wealthy, this book presents a treasure trove of solutions for the reader."
-Amy Domini, founder of Domini Social Equity, the world's largest socially responsible mutual fund
