I would recommend reading Declaration (pdf) by Negri & Hardt. It is a pamphlets about activist movements released in support of - or to inspire - the Occupy movement. The authors are sometimes credited for updating the critique of capitalism to the 21st century.
Negri himself is an interesting figure as a public intellectual activist. You could get an impression of him in this documentary.
​
Secondly, I would recommend this article on intersectionality by Patrica Collins. Intersectionality is an important concept to understand when dealing with issues of inequality.
​
They are not necessarily easy reads, but they're not the hardest either. As a first step, try to get the gist from the introductory and concluding chapters/paragraphs. Then read the rest to go further in depth.
​
edit:
A good introductory critique of capitalism is the book Talking to My Daughter by Yannis Varoufakis. He's another interesting figure. You can find various speeches and lectures of his on youtube.
And this overview (pdf) of the various ways populism is defined and expressed is quite an interesting read.
