Bio: Jasmine Rashid (she/her) is a New York-raised, Oakland-based, Bangladeshi-American who believes deeply in people power.

As a financial activist, writer, and impact investing professional, she successfully supported the #FamiliesBelongTogether coalition in shifting billions of dollars in big bank financing away from the migrant detention and private prison industry. In her role as Director of Impact for impact investing firm Candide Group, she helps investors flow their money to predominately women & BIPOC-led social justice-focused companies, funds, and vital organizations building the next economy.

Her forthcoming book — The Financial Activist Playbook: 8 Strategies for Everyday People to Reclaim Wealth and Collective Well-Being (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Sept. 2024) — radically reimagines finance as a tool of the people. The Playbook builds on her knowledge base as a Congressman John Lewis fellow, Just Economy Institute alum, Trauma of Money Method certified practitioner, and lived experience as a girl in her late 20s just trying her best to navigate contradictions under Late Capitalism (and help build something better).
