Critiquing the Non-Profit Model

Listen  (28 min) [Link temporarily unavailable due to KPFA website upgrade April 2015]

Waiting to be called for our appointment at our local disability non-profit, a few thoughts arose about this way of organizing our community.  Strangely, we began to have some criticisms of how the non-profit model works.   

Naomi Ortiz, formerly with the Disability Activist Collective, joins Eddie Ytuarte and Adrienne Lauby for the hearty discussion.
