  • "In The Shadow of the Shadow State" S5-Ep10
    A trillion-dollar industry, the US non-profit sector is one of the world's largest economies. From art museums and university hospitals to think tanks and church charities, over 1.5 million organizations of staggering diversity share the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) designation if little else. Many social justice organizations have joined this world, often blunting political goals to satisfy government and foundation mandates. But even as funding shrinks, many activists often find it difficult to imagine movement-building outside the non-profit model. The Revolution Will Not Be Funded gathers essays by radical activists, educators, and non-profit staff from around the globe who critically rethink the long-term consequences of what they call the "non-profit industrial complex." Drawing on their own experiences, the contributors track the history of non-profits and provide strategies to transform and work outside them. Urgent and visionary, The Revolution Will Not Be Funded presents a biting critique of the quietly devastating role the non-profit industrial complex plays in managing dissent.

  • 57 - The Political Logic of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex
    What's good Family here is episode 57. I am reading Revolution Will Not Be Funded, chapter 1 (essay 1) "The Political Logic of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex" written by Dylan Rodriguez.
    Standout Quote: "Increasingly, avowedly progressive, radical, leftist, and even some self-declared "revolutionary" groups have found assimilation into this state-sanctioned organizational paradigm a practical route to institutionalization."

  • 56 - Continuing with the introduction of The Revolution Will Not Be Funded
    We continue the introduction, as it lays out the foundation for the objective of the book. Questions that are asked throughout the text....
    How did the 501(c)(3), or non-profit, model develop, and for what
    reasons? How did this model impact the direction of social justice
    organizing?
    How has funding from foundations impacted the course of social
    justice movements?
    How does 501(c)(3) status impact the relationship of social justice
    organizations to the state and give it opportunities to co-opt
    movements?
    Are there ways the non-profit model can be used to support more
    radical visions for social change?
    What alternatives to 501(c)(3) are there for building viable social
    justice movements in the US?
    What models for organizing outside the non-profit/NGO (nongovernmental organization) model exists outside the US that may help us?
