An Anarchist in the White House: Thoughts on Lobbying, Trans Liberation and the Nonprofit Industrial Complex

By Sadie Ryanne Vashti

I spent the past month or so working with the National Center for Transgender Equality. I helped coordinate logistics for their annual Policy Conference and Lobby Day. It was a wonderful (if at times stressful!) opportunity to gain useful skills while doing meaningful work with an organization I respect. I also met lots of great people!

I'm back to being marginally-employed again, but I've been thinking a lot lately about the nonprofit industrial complex (NPIC -- see below for explanation) and my involvement in it. It became a pretty extensive post!
