Indigenous Action Podcast: Ep. 12: Abolishing the Non-Profit Industrial Complex

Content warning: Sexual violence.

The Non-profit Industrial Complex (NPIC) is a system of relationships designed by colonial and capitalist forces to manage and neutralize effective radical organizing. In this show we address how the Indigenous NPIC and capitalists are barriers to building collective power towards liberation.
