The Community Studies Department and Indigenous Studies Cluster PRESENT:
A public lecture and colloquium presentation PROF. ANDREA SMITH Co-Founder of Incite! Women of Color Against Violence ************************************************************ PUBLIC TALK THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE FUNDED Beyond the Nonprofit Industrial Complex Thursday, May 22 4-5:45pm Kresge Town Hall ************************************************************ Prof. Smith will discuss the collection edited by Incite!: THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE FUNDED Beyond the Nonprofit Industrial Complex In this landmark collection, over 25 activists and scholars describe and discuss the non-profit industrial complex (NPIC)—a system of relationships between the state, the owning classes, foundations, and social service & social justice organizations that results in the surveillance, control, derailment, and everyday management of political movements. Naming what some might call “the elephant in the room,” the contributors to this groundbreaking and thought-provoking collection critical assess the NPIC’s impact on the practice and imagination of the political left in the U.S. Of central concern is the emerging dominance of the 501(c)(3) non-profit, a model which some argue threatens to permanently eclipse autonomous grassroots-movement building in the arena of social justice. INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence is a national activist organization of radical feminists of color advancing a movement to end violence against women of color and their communities through direct action, critical dialogue, and grassroots organizing.
