      I'm interested, I'm reading it right now. Maybe there can be a discussion
group without a leader?

I realize this is pretty late in the game, but it looks like no one has
taken up the suggestion to have a discussion of this book in Minneapolis.
 I'm personally hesitant to lead the discussion as it's been a while since
I've read the book (and I probably won't have time to re-read beforehand)
and my experience in tool cooperatives, while extensive, is mostly as a user
rather than volunteer, until the last few weeks.  If anyone is still
interested, though, I'd love to have a discussion about this.

Hi everyone,

It looks like I'm not going to make it to Bike!Bike! this year, but there
was a discussion I was really wanting to initiate.  It mostly comes out of
lived experience, but is well-articulated by Incite! Women of Color Against
Violence in a recent book they wrote called "The Revolution will not be
Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex"
I would love for people, especially those in shops with an
anti-capitalist/non-hierarchichal/anti-oppressive bent to them to have a
look at that book and then to have discussion around some of the points
raised, specifically of limitations in 501(c)3, state funding, and
foundation funding models.  If people have had a chance to look at the book
and would like to discuss it here, that would be great, but even better
would be if there were someone willing to lead a discussion next month in
Minneapolis.
