2. The Revolution Will Not Be Funded
Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex
A sharp critique of how philanthropic funding, nonprofit structures, and state partnerships shape and often constrain social justice work, arguing that reliance on grants and institutional legitimacy can co-opt movements led by women of color and other marginalized people. The essays examine how the nonprofit industrial complex reproduces racialized and gendered hierarchies, limits transformative responses to violence and repression, and redirects radical energy into professionalized service delivery, while proposing grassroots accountability, community self-determination, and abolitionist alternatives as paths toward collective safety and long-term systemic change.
