Solidarity in Action Cultivating Freedom and Collaborative Change in the Nonprofit Industrial Complex (NPIC)

In this two-part series, Rested Root facilitators amani and damaris will break down how the 501c(3) nonprofit structure was designed to infiltrate and undermine social movements, and what we can do to foster meaningful change.   We will examine how power, privilege and oppression manifest within nonprofits both through the micro-lens of our own intersectional experience as well as the macro-lens of capitalism and systemic racism. In order to get free from the powers that be, we also will be exploring creative strategies for transforming oppressive dynamics and deepening solidarity and accountability in our collaborations.
