I would say consciencia social. If a verb is needed up front (like, 'to be socially conscious'), you would use the appropriate conjugation of tener.

Hi! I agree with Rusty: socially conscious--Con conciencia social.
Why don't you provide us with more context?

Hi! Rusty. This is the right spelling of ''conciencia''.

It can be added that conciencia and consciencia are different words.

The proper translation here would be con conciencia social, as Cubanboy said.

I agree with Cubanboy and Alfonso. (Sorry about the typo.)

Don't worry about it, Rusty! I think it's really crazy the way we use conciencia and consciencia. Maybe the only ones who distinguish it properly are psychoanalysts.
Look at this. You would say:
  • Es alguien con conciencia social
  • Es alguien socialmente consciente
meaning the same.

A small correction:

This sounds better. You could also use "Forget about it."

Although "never mind" can be translated as no importa, or no te preocupes, it translates more like olvídalo in this instance.

Thanks a lot, Rusty. This is my 200th message, so I want it to be exclusively for thanksgiving. :)
