Details
About the event
In this session we will talk about the origins of nonprofit work and how to make sense of those origins and the inherent problems within the structure so that you can continue to do the work to fulfill your organization’s mission. We will get into the down and dirty of the dysfunction of the nonprofit sector and explore together how to create, and apply, a liberatory framework to a space that has yet to be decolonized.

BIPOC Leaders Growing Nonprofit Power Together: Nonprofit 101
with Sunshine Muse
Designed for new and aspiring BIPOC nonprofit leaders, this session provides an overview of starting and running a new nonprofit.
Racial Healing and Renewal Cohort: Session 4
with Robert Nelson and Kendra Toth
This four-session program is based on building the capacity for trusting relationships by analyzing our individual identities within the context of the history of oppression. Healing is a revolutionary act. Honoring lessons from elders in the justice movement, it is imperative that we no longer perpetuate the grinding style of activism that replicates the same exploitative practices on our bodies, minds, and hearts. Healing involves stopping the production of social justice and to holistically understand personal proximity to power allows for real healing.
