When you think about the non-profit sector, what do you think: harmful or helpful?
As the third largest workforce in the United States, the nonprofit sector creates 11.4 million jobs… What was once a web of grassroots and community-centered organizations has gained so much momentum that it has evolved into a multimillion dollar industry. In our episode, your hosts, Glen and Memphis, explore what has been lost along the way and who is still gaining from the non-profit world as it exists today. We are joined by our guest speaker, Gabby Green, the Public Policy Coordinator at Blackroots Alliance, a non-profit centered on the South Side of Chicago organizing with the goal of Black liberation. In our discussion, we open up conversation about the culture of the non-profit sector, the experience as an employee within it, and how the focus is shifting to, or away, from the communities these organizations claim to support. Glen and Memphis challenge you to evaluate your preconceptions about the intentions of nonprofit organizations, consider where your money is best spent, and reflect on whether bigger is actually better.
