Morning Assembly: 02. Vu Le

We talk with Vu Le of the celebrated blog nonprofitaf. Self described as a “dude from Seattle” Vu is a nationally recognized public speaker, writer, vegan, Pisces, and former executive director. He has a penchant for baby animals, unicorns, and has something to say about nonprofits and our sector. Special guest host Jessica Garlock of the HIHO Education Department sits in with us to chat with Vu about everything that is going on from covid-19 to black lives matter. A true champion for change we are so fortunate to share some laughs with Vu even if he spoils some movie endings along the way.

Some topics we discuss:

Why nonprofit systems of funding are broken

How nonprofits are too nice

Racism in the nation

Funding and how priorities in funding are misguided

Traditional nonprofits and their structures

Defunding the police

The potential power of the nonprofit sector
