Bel dan pa di zanmi (Just because someone is smiling at you doesn't mean they're your friend) — Haitian proverb
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and people powered movements, resistance, revolution, it’s all a complex relationship, fraught with many challenges as well as potential! Campaigning organizations such as ActionAid have a history of engaging with movements but are now asking how they can do this better.
In this episode, we speak with Joy Mabenge and David Archer, two NGO leaders and activists at heart, about systems change.
Check Out the Theory The NGOization of Resistance: when frontline organizers spend more time writing grant reports than changing the system, something is wrong. People most impacted by injustice, not those working for big non-profits, should drive the movement. Our podcast is inspired by the Beautiful Trouble toolbox!
