Podcasts about non profit industrial complex

Summary In this episode, hosts Carolina De La Rosa Mateo and Vidhya Shanker ask, “why evaluation?” We wonder if evaluation can be a site of resistance against racial/gendered capitalism, when capital developed evaluation to support its interests and continues to control the means and ends of knowledge production. Can evaluators renounce capitalism and positivism to organize against exploitation alongside the working class? Can we refuse to take EEI, DEI, CRE, GEDI, CRT, etc. for granted and change the structure of the knowledge economy? Episode 2 transcript Notes 19:45: Access to the written word provides an advantage only in hierarchical systems that devalue oral traditions and non-written languages and knowledge to justify the displacement of entire bodies of knowledge and ways of knowing and the corresponding domination of entire peoples who are portrayed as primitive or unfit to govern themselves 20:30: (Vidhya's elaboration) Tamil language and culture predate Sanskrit and what people now call Hinduism. But the language that brahmins typically claim is Sanskrit. Though no longer spoken, Sanskrit is still used within Hindu hegemony in much the same way that Latin and Greek are used within European hegemony: to provide authority and legitimacy to specific ideas and practices and to discredit others. 23:15: The only time that there is not an adversarial relationship between workers and management is when workers are management, as in self-governed cooperatives 47:06: There is also ⁠the stereotype⁠ that Asians only like numbers—⁠cultivated largely through the 1965 Immigration Act⁠ 47:47: While this happened in 2020, Vidhya meant the 2016 elections References Rodríguez, D.

BrownTown on BrownTown. Once again, our comrades build on previous discussions from 2019 (Ep. 39) and 2020 (Ep. 59) on the interrelationship between working within and outside of the movement media landscape while balancing a healthy personal life, financial well-being, and everything in between. The duo situate what recent growth means for SoapBox as an entity while also attempting to navigate the inherent contradictions of trying to dismantle capitalism while working within it. In this moment colored by genocide in Gaza, mass migration due to decades of neoliberal policy, and revanchist regressive public policy across the US, we are reminded of the necessity of liberation work as well as the toll it takes on our everyday. How do organizers, activists, creators, and freelancers at large sustain the self in order to sustain the work? How do we do fight the power while avoiding burnout and paying the rent? Here's BrownTown's take. Originally recorded April 17, 2024. Other topics mentioned:Ep. 95 - HomeEp. 64 - Non-Profit Industrial Complex ft.

In this episode, we (hosts Vidhya Shanker and Carolina De La Rosa Mateo) introduce ourselves, share how our worlds came together, and discuss The May 13 Group. We talk about our personal histories inside and outside evaluation, the Minnesota IBPOC in Evaluation Community of Praxis, how The May 13 Group came to be, and what it could possibly become. We invite anyone who works in and around evaluation or other knowledge work (e.g., philanthropy, nonprofits, NGOs, government, academia) to take a listen and help craft the ecosystem!

This week on Humanism Now, Audrey & AJ join the panel to discuss personal and group activism and support for Social Justice campaigns. The panel discuss; How do humanist vales align with these causes? How do we prioritise issues to best influence changes? and what role should Humanist groups play in leading or supporting campaigns? We delve deeper into these topics with this week's guest Anya Overmann. Anya is a writer, consultant, speaker and digital nomad driven by her values as a progressive humanist activist. As former President of Young Humanists International, Anya shared her evolving views on the movement, frustrations with organised non-profits and optimism for the next generation of activists. About Anya Overmann:

Joining me today to talk about the Non-Profit Industrial Complex, is GeeChee Yaw. Geechee is a published author, activist, organizer - has organized in the UK, the Baltimore and DC area and also organizes in Central America. Geechee is a member of a number of organizations like BPM. He provides research work and curriculums for a number of organizations. He is also a contributing writer for the Hood Communist - A collective of African revolutionary nationalists using journalism to advance the struggle for African liberation. Geechee gives insights into foundations and/or non-profit organizations and how their funders influence and, to a large extent, shape the objectives of those they fund. Foundations are a good way of tax sheltering. On the subject, Geechee says: We should be asking the question - How is wealth built? How is poverty built? To these questions, Geechee opines in this rather radical way: "Wealth is built through violance, public policy and fraud."

BrownTown on BrownTown. As SoapBox (the film and movement media hub that powers Bourbon 'n BrownTown) moves into its first-ever office, Caullen and David discuss their journeys finding and curating spaces to call home, personally and professionally. BrownTown affirms housing as a human right while examining Chicago and America's dialectical relationships -- the housing crisis and Bring Chicago Home legislation, decades of US imperialism and caring for asylum seekers, Wall Street bailouts and billionaire tax breaks while the working many unionize for better workplaces, etc. While films like SoapBox's Calvin's Story (2016) create empathy, we must balance the interpersonal with the need to radically transform systems if we are ever to bring everyone home.

We've just finished our first ever Patreon book club pick, The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex and we have so many thoughts. Not all of them are good.

The Pyramid Of Power: Chapter 10 –The Foundations And The Non-Profit Industrial Complex - TCRN www.theconsciousresistance.com/ The Conscious Resistance is the moment you recognize that being free goes deeper than just seeing the problems in the political arena. Consciously Resisting means being willing to engage in self-reflection, and pursuing knowledge of the self. Without knowing our own doubts, hopes, fears, dreams, insecurities and strengths we can not truly know what freedom means to us as an individual. To become conscious, and aware of ones actions is one of the most important steps towards claiming your own freedom. Motto: “Leading by example and helping others in their pursuit of Freedom.” The Conscious Resistance Network is an independent media organization focused on empowering individuals through education, philosophy, health, and community organizing. We work to create a world where corporate and state power does not rule over the lives of free human beings. Originally this site and the name revolved around the work of community activist Derrick Broze. However, in November 2013 Derrick and Neil Radimaker relaunched the The Conscious Resistance Network. TCRN aims to be a unique network of entertaining internet broadcasts featuring music videos, how to videos, gardening tips, discussions on current events, Anarchy, community organizing, and many other ideas we are currently working on.'

A PhD, she has taught at several colleges and universities near her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, most recently at the University of Tulsa.  Julianne's research has focused on the corporate takeover of higher education and the development of the "P20 pipeline" in order to advance the globalist agenda of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Among many things, our conversation touched significantly on the idea that machinations of this Great Reset and it's 5G supported digital grid is what can be loosely termed a "non-profit industial complex".  This broadly deployed saturation of every facet of the public and private spaces both here in the US and across the globe is the engine driving what can be aptly described as an unfolding coup.  We get into many other fascinating areas of conversation and it's all informative and engaging!  Enjoy!Visit DISOBEDIENT video on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYZxyqqf6582vSMUijlm8TgCheck out DISOBEDIENT video on Bitchute, too: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/musjcPF0ki26/iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/disobedient/id1604943510Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/793iZfqHtslp3WgU2tVGkoBE SURE TO LIKE, RATE & SHARE!  CONTACT ME AT: disobedientpodcast@protonmail.com Thanks for listening!

The industrial complex is an industrial complex! Today we'll be talking about the spread of industrial complexes, non-profits, so-called activist influencers, the controversy around BLM Global Network spending, and the whispers around Nikole Hannah-Jones and Kimberlé Crenshaw being problématique. What's the Word? Industrial Complex. Popularized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the industrial complex refers to the profit-driven enmeshment of the state and private industry in a way that makes it more profitable to perpetuate the problem they claim to solve. What We're Reading. “In The Shadow of the Shadow State” by Ruth Wilson Gilmore in The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex. In this essay, Gilmore discusses the rise of the non-profit industrial complex as an industry that takes up "kindness" work for those the state has abandoned and operates to suppress revolution. Her solution is to take the money and run, without fooling ourselves into believing the state or capitalism will give us the keys to our freedom. What in the World?! In this segment, we discuss our ongoing experience of forming a non-profit, the questionable financial decisions of Black Lives Matter, what Alyssa and Brendane would do if we came into $90 million, whether we really should be putting our faith or support in famous people or so-called "activist influencers," and why you should stay away from Teach For America.

In this episode, Dani discusses how Human Animals use Beings at their disposal and who we need to listen to in order to end the cycle of abuse.They recommend reading "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants" by Robin Wall Kimmerer and "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz for more information on Indigenous, sustainable way of Life and the true history of the so-called United States. She also recommends Indigenous Action and It's Going Down for articles that dive deep into the concepts that run our Lives and societies and interviews with individuals on the horrors of capitalism and settler-colonialism.

For over 10 years, the academic and public health sectors have promoted "violence prevention" non-profits as the "evidence-based" alternative to mass incarceration and a solution to the shootings plaguing American cities. With the Biden administration set to invest 4 billion dollars in "violence prevention", some fear these services represent a co-option of grassroots anti-violence work and an attempt to cash in the public's anxieties around street crime, using the #DefundThePolice movement to strengthen the nonprofit industrial complex. In this talk, LBS Director of Research Lawrence Grandpre will use violence prevention as an example of the need for emancipatory, African Centered research. He'll be diving into the literature to display the limitations in Eurocentric public health methodologies of violence prevention and the need for African-centered alternatives.Support the show (http://www.newtimbuktu.com)

Nancy Rodriguez is a social worker, parent volunteer, and special education advocate who ran for a seat on the Dallas ISD school board in November of 2020 where she received the highest number of votes, but not enough to receive the majority over her two opponents. That led to a runoff election with Dustin Marshall, the incumbent. His campaign spent more than $500,000 resulting in his re-election on December 8, 2020. His endorsements came from a web of political “gatekeepers” in Dallas. They are part of the Dallas patronage network that includes PACs, chamber organizations, politicians, social impact investors, and non-profit leaders. A key player in the local social impact scene is Dallas Social Venture Partners. They host luncheons and conferences to engage Dallas leaders wanting to learn more about their for-profit lens applied to solving social issues. Most people see this tidal wave of impact investing as a way to galvanize support around critical issues and a way to bring change. Doing good while making money could be a good thing, right? But are there unintended consequences to tracking people in a for-profit model that commodifies poverty, homelessness, or early childhood?More information about Nancy Rodriguez can be found at https://nancy4disd.com. Lynn Davenport is an education researcher and advocate for parental rights regarding education technology, data privacy and predatory impact investing schemes.

The gang dissects the philanthropic world's inherent root in inequity as well as its changes and challenges from the grassroots over the years. Lizette brings her lived experience as well as work with Crossroads into the conversation around the role of non-profits, funding "radical" initiatives, and the impact coronavirus and the George Floyd uprisings had on them. As summer 2020 brought a racial justice reckoning, everyday people began to distrust institutions, better understand how whiteness and anti-Blackness permeates in even (and especially) the most trusted charitable giving, and how we can build better networks for funding, support, and trust outside of established institutions. BrownTown and Lizette analyze unpack these topics while reflecting on their own roles in movement work and as funders/fundees. As media creators and lovers of hip hop, they center the power of media, art, and imagination in pushing back against oppressive ways of thinking and accepting and living out abolitionist politics.Considering it all, BrownTown and Lizette distill these larger dialogues wrestling with how to work within and simultaneously resist a system built on the same hierarchies and oppression it is supposed to challenge. Ultimately, we're all just trying to figure out where the money reside.

From art museums and university hospitals to think tanks and church charities, over 1.5 million organizations of staggering diversity share the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) designation, if little else. Many social justice organizations have joined this world, often blunting political goals to satisfy government and foundation mandates. But even as funding shrinks, many activists often find it difficult to imagine movement-building outside the non-profit model. The Revolution Will Not Be Funded gathers essays by radical activists, educators, and non-profit staff from around the globe who critically rethink the long-term consequences of what they call the "non-profit industrial complex." Drawing on their own experiences, the contributors track the history of non-profits and provide strategies to transform and work outside them. Urgent and visionary, The Revolution Will Not Be Funded presents a biting critique of the quietly devastating role the non-profit industrial complex plays in managing dissent.--Follow Lizette on Instagram and Twitter; and Crossroads Fund on their site, Instagram, and Twitter.--CREDITS: Intro soundbite Kofi Ademola from the Chi DNA interview with audio track by Genta Tamashiro.

Today's episode is a reflection on the role of foundations and non-profit organizations in the political economy of Minneapolis. We take a close look at the McKnight Foundation's interjection of a $250,000 grant at a critical moment in the struggle over the Upper Harbor Terminal, assessing the implications and impacts of that grant. We also use Blue Cross Blue Shields Foundation and the Pohlad Foundation as case studies for how foundations and non-profits consolidate ruling class power. We close with some thoughts on organizing within, against and beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex.

I discovered Kristy Lovich on Twitter calling out the non-profit world and the local politicians in here native Los Angeles.  We talk about working with the unhoused, the paternalistic approach to treating unhoused people, and the law enforcements over involvement with the mentally ill.     Some organizations that can use your support: Ground Game LA https://www.groundgamela.org/   Ktown4All https://ktownforall.org/   Streetwatch LA https://streetwatchla.com/   Services Not Sweeps https://servicesnotsweeps.com/   Meztli Projects https://www.meztliprojects.org/   Echo Park Rise Up https://www.instagram.com/echoparkriseup/?hl=en   Mountain House: A collective that practices radical stewardship of land, relationships, and culture (on-going tent fund/unsetttling the commons) https://www.mountainhouse.family/   The Revolution Will Not Be Funded https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-revolution-will-not-be-funded   Unhousing the Poor: Interlocking Regimes of Racialized Policing Ananya Roy, UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy Terra Graziani, The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, Los Angeles  Pamela Stephens, UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy  Link to PDF: https://challengeinequality.luskin.ucla.edu/2020/08/25/unhousing-the-poor/ The paper, prepared for The Square One Project's Roundtable on Justice Policy, is part of the Institute's ongoing research on racial banishment, the expulsion of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities from our cities through criminalization, policing, and forced removal. With a focus on Los Angeles, the paper examines three regimes of racialized policing: the criminalization of the unhoused, nuisance abatement lawsuits (specifically the Citywide Nuisance Abatement Program, or CNAP), and the forfeiture of public housing. Since this is a paper written for a project concerned with the “social contract,” it concludes with a framework of rights, including “right to remain.” But as this national moment of reckoning in the United States has made vividly clear, such a right cannot be established without dismantling the role of racialized policing in maintaining propertied order. By bringing to light the many forms of spatial illegalization that are constitutive of racial banishment, the research presented in the paper makes a contribution to the ongoing work of housing justice.    Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.  Please support independent media and become a patron.  You'll get bonus content from a lot of the shows.

Andrew Goldstein discusses his experience of activism and medicine. We discuss how he first stepped into activism, the challenges of non-profit work, how healthcare workers can get involved in organizing, leader-full movements, the temptations of professional "success," and the dangers of waiting until the "right moment" to begin this work. Andrew Goldstein MD, MPH (@AndrewMakeTweet) is an assistant professor at NYU who practices primary care at Bellevue, especially for those with high medical need and experiencing homelessness. His medical activism has focused on healthcare, immigration, climate, and gun violence. He also focuses on civic habit building, election action, narrative shifting, escalated tactics like civil disobedience and protest, and health worker organizing.

In this episode, we're joined by The MANY: The Mutual Aid Network of Ypsilanti, which is located in SE Michigan. They are a Mutual Aid group that was formed before the Covid-19 Pandemic, and they share the lessons they've learned. They have non-profit status, though they are very critical of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex. We have a great discussion about the ways that this status can be used as a valuable tool, and how they work to avoid the problematic dynamics that often arise when operating a Non-Profit. Many other exciting topics covered, too! Check them out here! https://www.facebook.com/ypsimutualaid/ on on Instagram: @many.info

In the mid-2000s, a documentary about "troubled youth" from Baltimore sent to Africa was critically acclaimed. it was more than another white savior story. It revealed the fundamental flaws in the logical liberal white racism. We use the documentary as a starting point for an analysis of the racism in the human & social service sector by juxtaposing the interventions of the documentaries teachers with African centered liberatory methodologies.Support the show (http://www.newtimbuktu.com)

What’s up Fellow Workers! For this show, Chris and Dave kick it solo. The content well had run a little dry so we picked up a local newspaper and found a nice story. We tackle the Non-Profit Industrial Complex and how 98.99% of all Non-Profits would organize themselves out of all their cash if they weren't just Chamber of Commerce gentrifiers. We namely go in on a local "community gardening" (it's laughable they call it that) non-profit that not only exploits the neighborhoods where they put their gardens but also the people that work for them, all for the benefit of some pretty healthy local farms. Community gardening is a great way to build solidarity, educate and feed these communities. Evidently, it's also a real good way to exploit folks for a nice buck. *OFFICIAL POD OF THE WEST VIRGINIA IWW* Live in West Virginia? Work in West Virginia? Take this REAL quick survey for us.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Kollibri terre Sonnenblume, author of Roadtripping at the End of the World, joins us to discuss the climate crisis and his recent piece "The Teachable Moment of the Greta Thunberg Phenomena", which responds to the provocative six-part report "The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – for Consent: The Political Economy of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex" by investigative journalist Cory Morningstar. This is not, however, an attempted takedown of Greta Thunberg or the phenomena she has sparked in regards to climate activism. Kollibri finds a great deal of inspiration in Thunberg, but argues that we must guard against her message being co-opted by those seeking to only make gestures about climate change and take half measures in response to it. Indeed, Thunberg herself seemed to express this same sentiment in her now famous "How Dare You!" speech delivered at the 2019 UN climate change summit in New York. Additionally we discuss politics, the environmental movement as a whole, the Green New Deal, generational difference between boomers, Gen X, and millennials, the media, and much, much more!

 I'll take a little theory and history with my labor organizing, please. And I'd like them shaken...not stirred. Comrade and fellow social worker/labor organizer, Sam, is on the show this week to help me talk about Jane McAlevey's dynamite book on labor organizing in the current era of capitalism, No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age. We talk about the basic concepts and organizing strategy McAlevey focuses on in the book by looking at their application in our own labor union organizing with social workers in Texas.  There are also lots of details in here regarding some basic facts and history of labor unions and labor struggles in the U.S. which should be of interest to theory geeks, history nerds, and organizers alike. Most importantly, we talk at-length about our own personal realizations that a strong Leftist, radical approach to labor organizing isn't just about higher wages - it's about human dignity and changing society.   ***Correction: First philanthropic foundation we mention in the show was the Rockefeller Foundation, not the Ford Foundation.

What is necessary for museums to radically imagine what is possible, not only what has been done? Adjoa Jones de Almeida, Director of Education at the Brooklyn Museum, shares how she decided to "step up" during a moment of transition for the museum. After beginning her career at the Brooklyn Museum in an entry level position, she hadn’t planned for a leadership role of this nature in her career trajectory. She shares how youth organizing and collectives have shaped the values that inform her leadership at a large encyclopedic museum. We also talk about organizational culture, how social movements change institutions, and the tricky nature of passion and work in a capitalist society.  After graduating from Brown University in 1995, Adjoa received a Fulbright scholarship to research community schools and cultural identity in Bahia, Brazil. In 1996 she moved to Brooklyn, NY where she worked as a high-school teacher at El Puente Academy for Peace & Justice, and helped to create Sista II Sista (SIIS), a women’s collective dedicated to supporting young women of color in developing personal and collective power. In 2005, she earned her Master’s from Teacher's College in International Education Development. From 2006-2013 she lived in Arembepe, Bahia where she co-founded a community based organization, Diáspora Solidária, committed to social & environmental justice, artistic expression and youth development. She began her work at the Brooklyn Museum in 2013.
