Cocktails And Complicity

As folx who have been in the nonprofit industry for over a decade, we know nonprofits can perpetuate harmful systems. So where do we go from here? Do we choose to be complicit in the system, or do we try to imagine a new way of creating change for our communities? Join us for Cocktails and Complicity on October 3 to find out how we can move forward. Our second annual 4-part series will feature Jamyle Cannon (the Bloc) and ángela munguía (AMPT) in conversation with Bessie Alcantara (Alternatives) to unpack the intersection of capitalism, nonprofits, and philanthropy, and how each of these reinforce systemic oppression rather than challenge it. Speakers will provide a space for guests to understand the challenges of navigating the nonprofit and philanthropic world, especially as POC in leadership. Attendees have shared that this event series "feels like therapy," and they leave feeling less alone in their emotions, experiences, and struggles navigating the nonprofit world. We love creating space to connect with peers who feel the same way we do about imagining a new way of doing the work. More Info below.
