ABOUT THE TEACH-IN:

Does nonprofit work help or hurt movements for social change? Most people enter nonprofit work because they want to be part of positive societal change through social services, advocacy, or education. Once inside the sector, many realize that they are contributing to organizations that have an interest in maintaining the status quo by focusing on symptoms rather than root causes, reproducing oppressive behaviors internally, and being beholden to funders. Faced with these realities, many nonprofit workers feel conflicted about how to do work they believe in while contending with the gatekeeping role they play.This teach-in will explore the common conflicts and contradictions nonprofit workers experience as they attempt to navigate their roles with anti-oppressive principles. Drawing from experiences organizing and facilitating nonprofit workers, this teach-in will situate these common conflicts within the dynamics of the nonprofit industrial complex. Finally, some key questions for a self-assessment of your work will be offered.
