The fight for economic justice can draw some stark battle lines. It's often painted as an Us versus Them battle, with the rich in the role of "Them," and everyone else cast as "Us." So where does that leave young wealthy people 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 resource 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 for social change.

Molly Hein is a 27-year-old NYC native currently living in Minneapolis, MN. She brings her background as a cartoonist, graffiti artist and documentary videographer to her illustrations for Classified. The thread that runs throughout her work is her commitment to creating dialogue across borders and encouraging other wealthy white people to question their own roles in racism and classism. In her latest video, E.96th St., a story of the border between East Harlem and the Upper East Side, she searches for positive alternatives to gentrification and displacement. A blackbook of her graffiti art is currently on display as part of B-Girl Be, an exhibition of multi-media work by women in hip hop at Minneapolis Intermedia Arts.
