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.Macho http://bike-dump.ca
