Non-Profit Industrial Complex
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, Thanks to your post, I bought this book and will read it. Creating a sustainable, healthy model for an organization like ours is always in discussion, since we have been trying to rebuild our organization for the past few years. I haven't read the book yet but, I'd love to have a discussion about the book and the topics brought up any time though. Here is a link I found to a review of the book at Yes! http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/climate-solutions/in-review-the-revolution...

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.

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

Sounds like a good opportunity to take advantage of the "guerrilla" workshop spaces that will be available this weekend. There are going to be spaces to hold impromptu workshops, and this is an easy topic to discuss (I'm assuming there will be a fair number of people who have read this present) as long as we have a strong facilitator to help it along.
I would like to participate in such a workshop (having only read select parts).

I just got the book but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I'd still love to discuss this topic with others, and maybe related is the topic of creating a sustainable organization. John Sibley Bike Depot
