He is a political activist, environmentalist, businessperson, and financier. In 1987, Camejo founded Progressive Asset Management of California, an investment firm that conducts socially responsible investments. Nader shared his concepts of social justice and economic policies, noting that “his [Camejo’s] work in advancing socially responsible investment shows his understanding of how we can work within our economic system to advance social justice” (Nader for President 2004: 1).
