Description

Anyone who has ever worked in a nonprofit or social service organization is familiar with being told they are doing such good work - and often that sense of "good-ness" is used to justify low wages and a culture of exploitation. But what if the nonprofit structure actually upholds capitalism and deepens inequality, even when the people within those organizations are working for social justice? This workshop will explore what activists call the Nonprofit Industrial Complex, and its relationship to the state, capitalism, and progressive social movements. 

Facilitator: Professor Myrl Beam, Chair of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Macalester College
