 Smith will discuss the collection edited by Incite!:\n\nTHE REVOLUTION WILL 
 NOT BE FUNDED\nBeyond the Nonprofit Industrial Complex\n\nIn this landmark 
 collection, over 25 activists and scholars describe and\ndiscuss the 
 non-profit industrial complex (NPIC)—a system of relationships\nbetween 
 the state, the owning classes, foundations, and social service &\nsocial 
 justice organizations that results in the surveillance, 
 control,\nderailment, and everyday management of political 
 movements.\n\nNaming what some might call “the elephant in the room,” 
 the contributors\nto this groundbreaking and thought-provoking collection 
 critical assess the\nNPIC’s impact on the practice and imagination of the 
 political left in the\nU.S. Of central concern is the emerging dominance of 
 the 501(c)(3)\nnon-profit, a model which some argue threatens to 
 permanently eclipse\nautonomous grassroots-movement building in the arena 
 of social justice.\n\nINCITE! Women of Color Against Violence is a national 
 activist\norganization of radical feminists of color advancing a movement 
 to end\nviolence against women of color and their communities through 
 direct\naction, critical dialogue, and grassroots organizing.\n\nTo learn
