NATIONWIDE - JULY 2025 - (USAnews.com) — In an age defined by crisis and concern, few voices cut through the noise like Shadan Kapri. As an acclaimed human rights attorney, family law advocate, and bestselling author, she dismantles the comfortable illusions that protect us from the harsh realities of modern exploitation. Her first book, The Red Movement: Social and Environmental Justice in the 21st Century, is not merely a human rights manifesto—it’s a call to action for the millions of people still affected by modern-day slavery. In her writing, she connects global supply chains—from fashion and electronics to coffee, chocolate, and food—to forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking. She argues that victims are hidden behind the production of everyday items, from clothing to technology.
The Red Movement exposes the devastating truth that slavery never really ended; it evolved and became more covert, embedded in the creation of products we use every day, often without thinking about their human or environmental cost. Kapri’s advocacy is not just global. She understands that change starts locally–in families and communities–inside and out of the courtroom. In June 2025, she was honored as the Best Family Law Lawyer in Washington State, in recognition of her commitment to her clients and her passion for social justice. Kapri’s legal career began over two decades ago when she graduated from Gonzaga University School of Law. Since then, she has built a distinguished reputation through her international boutique law firm, Kapri Law & Consulting, gaining clients worldwide and specializing in family law, civil rights, and human rights. Known for her personalized, client-focused approach, Kapri has become a trusted advisor for those facing complex and emotionally charged legal challenges. Her firm’s ability to deliver tailored advice during times of crisis has earned her respect from clients and colleagues. Her expertise in law isn’t just about resolving disputes—it’s about empowering people during life’s most difficult times by helping them navigate domestic violence, divorce, and custody battles. The Red Movement: A Platform for Global Change Kapri’s influence reaches beyond the courtroom. Her book and social justice initiative, The Red Movement, draws attention to corporate greed and systemic inequality that fuels human rights violations around the world. She points to multinational corporations that move operations overseas to exploit weaker labor and environmental laws, increasing their wealth while underpaying workers and causing environmental harm. The book’s power lies in its clear and accessible style, with Kapri writing from the heart. She refuses to stay silent while systems meant to protect people often fail them. What sets her books apart is her ability to link complex issues—like capitalism, racism, modern-day slavery, and environmental collapse—into a unified call for action. She doesn’t just criticize these systems of exploitation; she offers a roadmap for resistance and reform. Her work has been compared to the voices of Greta Thunberg and Barack Obama for its urgency, clarity, and global perspective. Her second bestselling human rights book, Corporate Greed: The Human Cost, delves deeper into the human toll of corporate malfeasance. This book exposes how American corporations often exploit legal loopholes, weak laws, and deregulation to maximize profits at the expense of vulnerable populations. She reveals how healthcare, housing, and banking systems contribute to widespread inequality in America, highlighting the consequences of unchecked corporate practices. “The cost of inaction is not just measured in missed opportunities,” she writes. “It shows up later in crises we could have prevented, the environment we could have saved, and lives we could have protected. What we ignore today becomes what we are forced to confront tomorrow, at a greater cost to the planet and people, with fewer options.” Kapri argues that inaction has a cumulative cost. Her writing is rooted in the belief that societal change is forged through both individual courage and collective action. Awareness, she insists, is the first step, and conscious consumption must become as common as buying organic products. By not supporting companies that harm people and the environment, we can prevent another generation from suffering the same injustices. Her third book, Discovering Your Passion: The Path to Your Authentic Life, shifts to personal empowerment and action, guiding individuals to align their careers and personal lives with their passions. She believes that people’s dreams and goals are not random. They are part of a calling, a greater reason they are here. “Having the courage to answer that calling is the most meaningful and difficult challenge in life. Once you accept that challenge, your life is never the same again,” she writes. This book emphasizes the importance of self-discovery, living authentically, and refusing to conform to societal norms that betray one’s sense of self..jpg?alt=media&token=54d00f91-795a-4788-a2d4-34fe6bfa3f52)
Kapri’s books don’t just educate and empower, they cut through denials and deceptions to build a compelling argument: true justice doesn’t happen spontaneously—it must be strategic, intentional, and collective. By choosing not to financially support exploitative companies, people can force change by shifting the free market towards ethical and sustainable practices.
“Our greatest collective power lies in our ability to choose a different future,” she says. She challenges readers not just to reflect but to rise. To become active participants by shifting away from passive consumption to active resistors and changemakers. She writes that “the future is not inherited–it is created by the everyday actions we take for granted. By divesting away from companies that use exploitative practices through refusing to financially support their products, goods, services, or events, the public can send a clear message that their hard-earned money will not support systemic injustices in the name of greater profit.”
Kapri dares us to believe that a better future is not just possible but attainable. She argues that people’s real power exists in a lifetime of choices that either support or dismantle exploitative and abusive systems through the items they financially support every day.
“Once we awaken to the full force of our collective power, we become architects of a future not shaped by privilege, but by purpose. We cease to merely exist within these systems—we rise to reshape them in an unwavering pursuit for a better future. That is the ultimate message and mission of The Red Movement.”
