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.
