Stick Talk

Announcing Stick Talk’s inaugural cohort of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex Practitioners Lab! 📣 We are offering 15 Chicago-based changeworkers stipends of $1,200 each for their participation.

📅 Applications are due May 31st.

📄 In The Revolution Will Not Be Funded (2007), INCITE! (a national network of radical feminists of color) warn of the ways that traditional philanthropic funding structures can derail and demobilize social justice movement work.

✍🏾 What INCITE! calls the non-profit industrial complex (the NPIC) threatens to “harness and restrict” our political imaginations and “redirect activist energies into career-based modes of organizing instead of mass-based organizing capable of actually transforming society.”

🧠 INCITE!’s critique remains as relevant today as when they first brought it forth more than 15 years ago. Every day, changeworkers make rational, pragmatic choices to resource and sustain their projects through the financial and operational infrastructure of the NPIC.

💭 Our NPIC Practitioners Lab will come together for 3 months of thought partnership, collective education, co-strategizing, and capacity building.

NPIC Practitioners Lab In what ways is the non-profitization of our movement ecosystem contributing to the inequitable distribution of resources, power, and authority? We are bringing together Chicago changeworkers for 3 months of thought partnership, collective education, co-strategizing, and capacity building.
