  • are nonprofits the solution? 29.05.2025 21min
    Welcome to the first installment of the Studios subseries. In this episode, we’re diving into the Nonprofit Industrial Complex. What it is, how it came to be, and why it might be doing more harm than good. From Reagan-era policy shifts to firsthand experience at a nonprofit, let’s unpack the contradictions of a sector meant to “do good” while surviving on the crumbs of capitalism. If you’ve ever asked yourself why real change feels so far away or if nonprofit work is actually helping, this one’s for you.Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture
