The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex by Incite! Women of Color Against Violence
4.0
This is a collection of essays describing what the writers call ‘the non-profit industrial complex’, and how governments and the wealthy use non-profits to stifle and control social justice movements.
I learned more about organizing through these essays, like what it is and what it isn’t, and what it really takes. Some of the essays were more impactful to me than others. (A couple were jargony.) One essay particularly struck me, reminding me that most people aren’t *actually* willing to do the work it takes to create real change. This made me think about myself and what I’m willing to do, what I’m willing to sacrifice to fight for change. I will be thinking about this text for some time.
